<DIV align=center><STRONG>Breach Between Norfolk and Western And Carolina,
Clinchfield and Ohio Stop Work at St. Paul</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> Work has been stopped on the union station at
St. Paul. It is rumored that the Norfolk and Western and the Carolina,
Clinchfield and Ohio have disagreed upon the plans. The Carolina,
Clinchfield and Ohio, according to the story which is being told, wants the
depot placed so that the Norfolk and Western shall use one side while the
Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio will use the other. The plans as approved
before the appropriations were made call for both tracks to run on the same side
of the depot. This has caused a breach which it is said has been big
enough to stop work on the station. The matter may have to go to the
Virginia corporation commission before it can be settled. Nearly all the
material to be used in the construction of the depot is on the ground and ready
for the work to be pushed.</DIV>

<DIV align=left>[<EM>My recollection is that the station ended up on the north
side of the N&W track which was north of the CC&O track.
Correct? This was in accordance with the original plans described in the
article.</EM>]</DIV>
