Gordon,

I don't believe I've ever seen any photos of the Norfolk Type hoist at
Auville/Iaeger. Are there some in the archives? Just curious.

Bud,

Your date for the Iaeger coaling station is probably about right because the
5/19/53 Data Book II lists Iaeger as having two Norfolk Type coal hoists
with 85 cu. ft. buckets serving two tracks.

At the Archives session this week, I'll check the drawing revision log book
for the Data Book drawings to see if their revision details pin this date
down closer.

Thanks, Gordon.

I visited Auville Yard at Iaeger about a month and half ago but could not
find a date on the coaling station when it was built. I believe it was
about 1955 and was probably the last one built. The 1956 Annual Report lists
Auville/Iaeger yards having completed improvements in 1956 but does not
elaborate on what the changes/improvements were.

Bud,

It didn't occur to me that the Auville coaling station was listed as
Iaeger, but the latter is given as Ogle 200 tons.

Gordon,

I don't have the Data Book No. II with the '57 date. What is the
listed tonnage for the Auville/Iaeger coaling station?

Bud -



I got to looking at these a bit more. Are you sure about Vicker
being 250 tons and Farm being 200 tons? Those structures are much smaller
than Bluefield and Prichard.

Can anyone provide a listing of the capacities of the surviving
N&W coaling towers? I have the information on Bluefield. Was curious how
others such as Farm, Prichard, Auville and Vicker measured up.
