John:
Not exactly what you asked for. I'm not sure how modern dispatching
captures OS's these days. Using Pocahontas Division - Pocahontas
District train sheets from December, 1985, I measured 5 CN02's from
Williamson to Bluefield. The closest station to Farm where OS's
were recorded was Tug. I might also add that the OS's were rounded
to the nearest 5 minutes (for some reason).

CN02 average running time Williamson to Tug - 2 hrs. 10 mins.
" " " ' Tug to Bluefield - 1 hr 10
mins.

The largest train sampled was 6CN02 of Dec. 6. Engs 6159-8049-6130
83 X 0 - 6009 tons. Lv Williamson 9:55 AM, By Tug-12:30 PM and
arrived Bluefield at 2:25 PM -- 4 hrs. 30 mins. in transit.
