The branch first entered the Radford Divn. timetable in Dec. 1918, as 
Virginia-Carolina Branch. The wyes and turntables mentioned by Mr. King are 
the same. On July 13, 1919 the entry was changed to Abingdon Branch. In the 
Richard Prince book, he states that at Damascus and Whitetop were 60' 
"armstrong" turntables. No mention of Elkland, except that the line from 
there to West Jefferson was abandoned in 1933

Also, interesting is that prior to April 30, 1922 Whitetop was in the 
timetable as White Top Gap.
