This book details the cycle of coal transportation, originating at the mine and ending at the market and tells how the railroads of the Appalachian region developed and served this important trade. It concentrates on the Norfolk & Western, Virginian, and Chesapeake & Ohio Railways, but also deals with some of the other lines that hauled Appalachian coal, including the Baltimore & Ohio and Louisville & Nashville. Ideal for historians, model railroaders and those interested in the region and its coal heritage.
