Ray:No doubt about it, coal originating on the N&W would haveset off at Kinney.  Just remember that deliveries from the C&Oin downtown Lynchburg may have contained merchandise trafficalso and mty N&W box cars clean enough for cigarette loading.As I recall, there was some significance given during theN&W/C&O merger plan to a connection that left C&O east ofdowntown Lynchburg, wrapped around a hill crossing FloridaAvenue, then connecting with the N&W east of Kinney, nearKemper St.  The tonnage ratings weren't much better than the route via 12th St. The alternative ?  Build a connection from theC&O that paralleled U.S. 460 near James to the N&W's OldMain Line east of the James River crossing.   Harry Bundy
