N&W in 1910--Rare Pullman move

[NW Mailing List]

Bluefield Daily Telegraph

IN CITY AND COALFIELD
------
Pullman for Injured Man
    A Pullman car was taken through this city yesterday afternoon to Toms Creek where it will be used to carry Mr. Kent, head agent for the Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke Company, who was injured recently by a draft of cars, to Philadelphia, where he will receive surgical treatment.  This is one of the few occasions in this section where a special Pullman car has ever been brought to the Clinch Valley to carry one man to a distant city.
[This movement of a Pullman car on the Clinch Valley must have been a particularly rare event because Toms Creek was at the end of the 2.5-mile branch line out of Coeburn, VA.]
