Narrows Branch - New River Holston & Western RR

[NW Mailing List]

Does anyone, other than I, find it curious that the cute little Narrows Branch, 34.5 miles in length, was never shown on any of the 12 editions and revisions of U.S. Geological Survey Topographic Maps issued during the railroad's lifteime (1903-1946)?

This discrimination is an outrage and we need to organize a protest against the gross injustice of it all.  If Mr. Harper will donate the "funding," and if Mr. Hawkins will create the banners and posters, I will come down and lead a demonstration march... "Justice for the Narrows Branch" !!!
