heading to N&W country

If you want the most "bang for your buck", then stay between Iaeger and 
Bluefield.  US 52 follows the mainline very closely and provides great 
access.  I will be heading out there in 2 weeks for my annual winter trip on 
the Pokey.  West of Iaeger the tracks are located in remote locations for 
the most part.  Williamson to Matewan is a pretty nice stretch as well.  I'd 
recommend Princeton for lodging accomodations.  From here you can be 
trackside at Bluefield in 20 minutes.

Falls Mills, Coopers Trestle, Elkhorn Tunnel, Welch, and every place in 
between.  You can't go wrong!

Bluefield, Williamson and Jaeger, all in WV coal country, are interesting, 
and not too far apart.
