N&W in 1911--Buys another railroad

[NW Mailing List]

Could the Bluefield Daily  Telegraph have been two (2) years late with this 
 report?
They abbreviated the name of the road, but the wonderful photo  included 
with this article does, in fact, have the full name on the  tender.  Can 
someone provide an explanation . . . and/or,  possibly, more details on this part 
of N&W's mergers and  acquisitions?
