N&W in 1911--Featured in ad

[NW Mailing List]

"Clean Mountain Air" ad doesn't mention the hundred of steam engine movements per day.  :-)

Which brings me to the real question: was Bluefield, or Williamson "smokey", or did the wind blow smoke away from town?

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
September 22, 
1911
 
[The following advertisement by the Bluefield newspaper is unusual 
because it features a profile of the N&W mainline between Norfolk and 
Columbus.  It is best viewed full screen, and a transcription of the 
caption follows the image.]
 
 
    EXAMINE THE ABOVE PROFILE.  IT WILL SHOW YOU THAT 
BLUEFIELD IS THE HIGHEST
POINT ON THE LINE OF THE NORFOLK & WESTERN--A LOCATION ON THE MOUNTAIN 
TO
WHERE GOOD, PURE AIR BRINGS HEALTH AND HAPPINESS.  BLUEFIELD OFFERS 
MANY CHANCES
FOR THE ENTERPRISING AND ADVANTAGES TO THE HOME-SEEKERS--GOOD SCHOOLS, ALL 
MOD-
ERN CITY-LIFE FACILITIES--BUT STILL CLOSE TO THE MOUNTAINS AND 
NATURE.  MAKE INQUIR-
IES OF THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, BLUEFIELD, W. VA., AND ALL QUESTIONS WILL BE 
PROMPTLY
ANSWERED.
