Pocahontas Division article, 1945

[NW Mailing List]

 All,

This two-part Railroad Magazine series appeared in several N&W books, particularly Wolfe/Wilson/Mandelkern's:  Norfolk & Western's Clinch Valley Line.  Seems to me like it also appeared in The Arrow?

  Hello, Marty:

A the end of the article, it mentions that further recollections were to appear in the following month's issue. Have you scanned those as well?

Best wishes,

Here's an interesting first-person accounting of working on the Pokey in its very early days, from Railroad Magazine's March 1945 issue. (Its early years are an underappreciated treasure trove of first-person "Tails of the Rails".)

Hi, Marty. That would be my great-grandfather, Al Hock.
