Modelcar - <br /> <br />Alleghany was three tracks up the west side in the direction of loads (the middle track was the eastbound freight running track) and two tracks up the east side. West side 1%, east side 1.34%. <br /> <br />Kevarc - <br /> <br />Iaeger to Bluefield was longer and steeper than Alleghany but didn't have the tonnage, and, therefore, the number of movements. The east loads that came into Bluefield from the Clinch Valley District didn't come through Iaeger, but did go up Alleghany. <br /> <br />In midweek, Bluefield would call a 120-130 car EB coal train hourly. We're talking just before diesels, now . . . <br /> <br />OId Timer
