Thx Ed.

Nice! Those are treasured memories. I can relate having fond memories of
trips over the Radford and Norfolk Divisions with my dad on the 101.

Can you speak of the differences between McNew and Nichols as engineers
(hope my spelling is correct).

And what exactly is an Express Messenger?

I have a vague memory of a small NW magazine article about Sanders working
on the Abingdon Branch (perhaps a certain Mr. Link could find that in the
digital edition).

And if you can believe Wikipedia, it would seem he was employed on the
Southern as well as numerous other roads. Seems he was quite the ?rolling
stone?.

John - 

I rode it as a freeloader.  My Grandfather was Express Messenger and I must
have made 30 rides up there with him,.

I thought Sanders worked on the Southern.

Ed, Did you have opportunity to ride this line as an employee? Seems like I
read that Colonel Harland David Sanders fired on that line when he was a
young man.   John Garner

Mighty good to see.

There is a short level stretch in front of the station in the nearly
constant 3 Percent grade up to White Top.

Does anyone ride their bikes UP the mountain?

Beautiful day to be up at Green Cove. The station is ever popular with the
bike riders coming down from White Top Station on the Creeper Trail.
