Six Tunnels to Cost Three Million Dollars

By Associated Press
Welch, W. Va., Jan. 27--The Norfolk and Western today let contracts for six tunnels at a cost aggregating $3,000,000. These will reduce the curves and shorten the distance on the West Virginia division fifteen miles.

[A later article giving details was too faint and blurred to transcribe. I'll try to locate a different microfilm, but that may be several weeks from now.]
