  Real Iaeger & Southern was chartered by William Ritter in 1898 to serve his lumber operations on Dry Fork in McDowell County, WV. N&W got the rr when they bought the Pocahontas Coal & Coke Co in 1901. Iaeger & Southern became the basis of the N&W's Dry Fork and Jacobs Fork Branches.

    Can anyone tell me anything about this operation, which included a number of passenger cars that saw use in excursion and charter service?

  Right, but Jerry's original message was about the "modern" Iaeger & Southern, which I seem to remember had at least one passenger car lettered and operated in N&W and NS excursion service. What I can't remember is the name of the person who owned the car, although "Sid" seems to ring a bell.
