Yards, VA+WVA

[NW Mailing List]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Flat Top the original yard constructed when the extension was first built?  Quite a while before Bluefield?

The ruling grade of 1.22% Flat Top to Bluefield
required mine runs to reduce eastbound 
tonnage by as much as 50%, with the overflow
relayed in turns or in trains not hauling the
maximum tonnage.


Flat Top was also the set-off point for west
loads originating on the Pocahontas or
Bluestone Branches.
