    b.. Commissary Updates 
  N&WHS 2012 Lynchburg Convention

  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.

       Tug Fork - N&W Branch Line 
        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."

       Model: Cullen Station - AMB Kit 
        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.
