<FONT size=3>In later years, VGN would receive a decent<br>
volume of coal that had originated on CC&O.<br>
It was routed CC&O-Spartanburg-ACL-Jarratt-<br>
VGN. Remember that CC&O was owned<br>
50-50 by L&N and ACL. This route gave<br>
ACL a larger division of the revenue than<br>
a route via N&W from St. Paul (Boody).<br>
<br>
Coal was very lucrative traffic for N&W<br>
(as if you didn't know that). Dr. Paul Zeiss<br>
headed the Management Information Dept.<br>
in Roanoke. Once asked what complex<br>
formula he used to project N&W revenues,<br>
his answer was - "Project the cars to be<br>
dumped at Lamberts Point and multiply by<br>
$1,000."<br>
