Narrows Branch - New River Holston & Western RR

[NW Mailing List]

As my Grandmother's ancestorial home was on the Branch where it crossed Wolf Creek in Rocky Gap I would be in support of any recognition efforts this society undertakes.

Subject: Narrows Branch - New River Holston & Western RR

Does anyone, other than I, find it curious that the cute little Narrows Branch, 34.5 miles in length, was never shown on any of the 12 editions and revisions of U.S. Geological Survey Topographic Maps issued during the railroad's lifteime (1903-1946)?

This discrimination is an outrage and we need to organize a protest against the gross injustice of it all.  If Mr. Harper will donate the "funding," and if Mr. Hawkins will create the banners and posters, I will come down and lead a demonstration march... "Justice for the Narrows Branch" !!!
