Servicing Celanese and APCo

[NW Mailing List]

A question to the knowledgeable folks of the society. How was the Celanese
plant at Narrows serviced, particularly in the 1970's? Did a local come out
of Bluefield, Radford or Roanoke to do the days work there? Or were cars
dropped and picked up by a through freight and a local switcher (employed by
Celanese?) handle the work in plant? How much daily traffic was generated
here?

 

The same questions apply to the APCo power plant at Glyn Lyn, though I
remember seeing a well-used blue switcher there. So I assume that was only a
drop loads and pick up empties on the siding next to the main for the N&W.
