company stores

[NW Mailing List]

Jim,

That is a it just depends question. The N&W passenger agency at the Lynchburg Coal & Coke Company store at Kyle was closed on February 11, 1926. The passenger agency at Jenkinjones was either in the company store or the coal company office across from the store.

Your second question is answered by knowing where the depots were built which is contained in the valuation books at the archives. All of the depots in West Virginia are listed in "The N&W in West Virginia ~ 1881-1959." They are also included in the and in the N&W Branch line series of Books.

N&W only built three depots on Tug Fork Branch - Wilcoe, Gary and Anawalt. The Anawalt depot was moved from Pageton.

Alex

Many thanks Alex!  Could you buy a ticket at a company store or just board a train?  Also, I don't suppose there is any way to tell from a timetable (or otherwise) whether the stop was at an N&W-built station or a company store?  I am trying to tie a list of timetable  stops to "station" buildings.  Any advice on the best way to do this?
Thanks again for all your help,
Jim

Were company stores used as stations on the N&W?
