Milepost differnces

[NW Mailing List]

Are you familiar with the old twelve pole line that branched off at Lenore WV and went to the top of the mountain at Dingus, through the mile long tunnel going down through Wayne and onto Kenova? They retired that segment and opened the River grade running from Naugatuck WV along to Kenova WV. Shorter and river grade going toward Portsmouth Ohio.
I heard that George Washington surveyed the twelve pole line but am now certain of that being true.

I am confused on the milepost for Kenova to Portsmouth. I did a 6 year listing of stations and sidings for this line, August 1964-December 1964, 1966, 1969, 1972, 1977. One example is Hanging Rock, Ohio. 1964 is MP 541.03. 1977 is MP 543.64. The 1950 track chart has Hanging Rock as MP 583. That is a 40 mile difference. 
An 1899 alignment chart has Hanging Rock as 583. Most of the drawings are 583.
