N&W in 1909--Wind

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
April 14, 1909

IN CITY AND COALFIELD
------
Station Moved by Wind

    The violent wind storm Monday night did considerable damage to the Norfolk and Western along New River.  While the storm was at its height, or at some time during the night, the wind picked up the railroad station at Wills and carried it several yards depositing it over an embankment near which it stood.  The building and its contents, while not materially damaged, are nevertheless hardly available as a station at present.
