Coal Sales, Movement, Distribution

[NW Mailing List]

[this topic has strayed from the South Yard thread]

This is the dry history of moving coal on the N&W, with a lot of detail
about complaints from mines and car allocations. It is currently $49.95
(sued of course) on Amazon, $68.50 on eBay, or $35.00 on Abe Books.

*From Mine To Market: The History of Coal Transportation on the Norfolk and
Western Railway*


Hardcover – January 1, 1954
by Joseph T. Lambie (Author)

Detailed history of the Norfolk and Western: its emergence from bankruptcy
in 1883, growth under Frederick J. Kimball as it opened the Pocahontas coal
fields, development into a major regional coal mover with major facilities
in Norfolk, and the growth of shipments to the Great Lakes, all while
wrestling with government regulation and competition from alternative
energy sources. A splendid, scholarly examination of a major US railroad.
With black and white photo section and maps. 380 pages with index.
