       Today I went to the Roanoke City Library and searched for the first 
  Virginian Railway "through train to Roanoke". The January 24, 1909 "The 
  Roanoke Times" front page has an article "Roanoke Has New Coal Road". This 
  article indicated that the previous day, January 23, 1909, Roanoke saw "the 
  first through train from Norfolk to the coal fields over the Virginian 
  railroad reached the Magic City. The train had aboard General Manager Depuy 
  and Chief Engineer Fernstorm. Soon after their arrival in the city the 
  officials left for Deepwater, W. Va. It was stated that the last touches 
  had just been given to the New River bridge the completion of which had 
  been =======(word not readable) for many months." Copy attached.
