Link and Pin

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

That is an interesting part of history you guys, Abram and Jeff,  have  
cleared up! Thanks. 
 
However, accidents still happened. Just a few years ago at the C&O  (CSX) 
yard here in Lynchburg, a yard man was caught between the couplers as the  cars 
came together. He withered and died before any help could reach him. Course  
his injury was so horrible, he couldn't have lived!
 
In walking old logging lines in Amherst, Nelson and Rockbridge counties I  
have found a link and also a pin! The line I was on, South River Lumber Company, 
 connected with the N&W's Shenandoah Division at Cornwall,  Va. and I 
understand this section closed with the chestnut blight, well in  the 20th century.  
Pictures of this line are in Ben Kline's book,  "Wildcatting On the Mountain," 
1970.
