VGN to Huntington

[NW Mailing List]

Excuse me, but I thought the K&M ran along the Kanawha, not the Guyandotte.
At any rate, that still does not require a crossing and recrossing of the
Ohio.   Jim Nichols

 [Either the reporter or I need a geography lesson. If the Virginian were to
cross the Ohio River on the way to seventeenth street, it would be in Ohio
instead of Huntington, WV.]

Gordon...  from this blurb:

"The line, which will be the main line, will extend from Elmore, two and
one-half miles from Mullens, down the Guyandotte River for fifty miles,
where it will connect with another road which has charter rights to build a
line up the Guyandotte on the opposite side of the river from the Chesapeake
and Ohio. section."
I gather that it would already on the Ohio side (i.e, the  Kanawha &
Michigan) ergo it would be crossing back over to the WV side in Huntington
