N&W in 1908--Two fatalities [and Dead Man's Cut

[NW Mailing List]

Geographically, that would have been the Drake Hotel. I knew nothing of such reputation when I lived there (being just a lad), but it could well be true. Building is long gone.     Jim Nichols

  A former Pocahontas Division trainmaster once noted
  that there was a hotel just west of the Division Office
  Building in Bluefield that rented rooms by the hour.
  When Superintendent, R. F. Dunlap could gaze down
  to a room with the blinds open and from his lofty office
  he'd follow his forte -- supervise.
