Mines serviced by both N&W and C&O?

[NW Mailing List]

As a follow-up to my post, the area is Trace Fork (mine served by the C&O)), with the community named Myrtle, Mingo County, WV.

If you were traveling from Logan to Williamson along old or present US Rt 119, it would have been off to the left after going over the mountain outside of Holden.

C&O and N&W battled it out for years, but eventually N&W prevailed. My buddy Chase has a pretty long video on the history of the Levisa Branch, including the story of N&W vs C&O in the area. I hope it can answer your questions.
