N&W/CC&O in 1910--Dumps Creek Branch

[NW Mailing List]

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
March 5, 1910

RAPID TRACK LAYING
------
Dumps Creek Extension Will Soon Be Ready for Traffic

    The grading and laying of track on the Dumps Creek extension is progressing at such a rapid rate that it will not be a long time until the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio Railway will be able to maintain a regular schedule service on the extension.  It will be only a short time before the company will be prepared to ship coal through the Clinchfield Fuel Company, the new company organized to sell the output of the Clinchfield Coal Corporation, which has mines at Dante and Toms Creek as well as at Dumps Creek.  The post office at Dumps Creek will be known as Clinchfield.

[Of course, the CC&O Dumps Creek branch became the N&W Dumps Creek branch in 1956.]
