"Palace Coup" Which Ousted Pevler

[NW Mailing List]

Another railroad list today carried a post which mentioned the N&W's "palace coup of 1970," which ousted Pevler and brought Fishwick back from the D&H to Roanoke as President of the railroad. The intimation was that the coup occurred when Pevler let it be known he was recommending someone from outside the N&W as his replacement in the president's chair. 

What were the details, and who were the players? And whom did Pevler intent to recommend?
