Were there any plans to extend it on north 25 - 30 miles to Covington?<br><br>3. Is this (Paint Bank) the only wooden (or not) two story N&W station left? As you may know, it is now a bed and breakfast.<br><br><br>4. Since the Craigs Valley line of the C&O was only 10-12 miles away in Newcastle, were there any plans to <br>connect and interchange?<br><br>I know some of this was covered awhile back in a nice article in THE ARROW. Could someone direct me to the issue?<br>Thanks,<br>Charlie Long</body><pre>
