<DIV align=left> The coke in a loaded rack which had been
shipped to this city, bound east from the Clinch Valley, caught fire in the
local yard and the Norfolk and Western yard force was put to work throwing water
on it until the fire was extinguished. Cars from the Clinch Valley region
loaded too hot frequently arrive in this city and catch fire here. In some
cases the sides of the coke rack catch fire. Most of this coke is loaded
on the Toms Creek branch.</DIV>
<DIV align=left>[<EM>Its surprising to learn that coke cars (obviously with wood
sides) frequently caught fire in Bluefield.</EM>]</DIV>
