Scioto Div. station info needed- Q for Ken Miller

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

In a few instances, a station's call reflected a previous  name.  Montvale
on the Norfolk Division had originally been named BUford's.  The  call
for Montvale remained "BU".   As far as "VD' for Alnwick,   there had
been a tower at the east end of Bluefield yard -  "RD"  supposedly  for
Radford  Division.  With the consolidation of the Norfolk,  Shenandoah,
and Radford divisions into one - the Virginia Division,  some  thought
was given to renaming that interlocking  "VD".
 
The "call" wasn't for a station, but to raise the dispatcher, some
roads used "DS" and some used "DI".  The Chief Dispatcher
was "CQ".
