// *N&WHS 2012 Lynchburg Convention*
<http://www.nwhs.org/convention/2012lynchburg/>

*Thursday, June 21, through Sunday, June 24*

Location: Lynchburg, VA, on the Mainline between Roanoke and Norfolk, VA.

After ten long years, welcome back to Lynchburg! Join us as we learn about
our beloved Norfolk & Western and the Virginian. Each railroad was known
for its coal hauling capabilities in addition to passenger and freight. A
lot of the freight and coal came right through the Central Virginia city of
Lynchburg (on the N&W) and Altavista (on the Virginian) as it made its way
to Norfolk. Both lines are still heavily used today.

Saturday nights banquet speaker will be our own *Aubrey Wiley*. The retired
teacher, historian, author, and photographer will share from his knowledge
of the Virginian Railway.

N&W Branch Line <http://www.nwhs.org/commissary/Tug_Fork_NW_Branch_Line.html>
*Tug Fork - Norfolk & Western Branch Line*, the third in the NWHS series of
branch line books, is projected to be available by the summer of 2012. The
near 30 miles of branch lines ran from Welch, through Gary and Wilcoe, to
end points at Filbert, Leckie, Jenkinjones and Munson. It became
operational in 1903 and some parts are still operating in 2012. The branch
line served 26 commercial mines, 3 coal preparation plants and hauled over
410 million tons to points east and west by 1988 when the large underground
mines closed. "Tug Fork" is projected to be between 130 and 150 pages
similar in format to "Bluestone" and "North Fork." Separate chapters cover
Welch to Gary, Sand Lick Branch, Gary to Leckie, North Fork Branch (Anawalt
to Jenkinjones) and South Fork Branch (Black Wolf to Munson) and Passenger
Service and a complete Index. The book includes ICC Valuation photographs,
siding maps, track charts, construction records, Field Book notes and much
more. It is a must for any railfan exploring the "Tug Fork."

Cullen Station - AMB Kit
<http://www.nwhs.org/commissary/VGN_Cullen_Station_model.html>
Cullen Station is based on a structure once standing at milepost 133.9 on
the Virginian Railway's old Norfolk Division. The multipurpose station had
provided the town of Cullen, VA with both a freight and passenger depot.
Situated along the trackage running from Victoria to Roanoke, the building
housed the agent's office, a 9' 4" x 12' 0" freight room with adjacent
loading dock, and an attached open shed "waiting room". We believe the
structure to have been erected before the First World War and photographs
suggest it remained in service after the Virginian's merger in to Norfolk
Western in 1959 on through the early 1970s.
