Twelve years of research has resulted in a comprehensive reference guide to the Clinchfield Railroad in Southwest Virginia and Kentucky, its primary coal-producing region. This book covers the history of the railroad and its towns, operations, structures, and equipment with maps, B&W and color photos, documents, and first-hand stories. Also included are the accounts of riding and working some of the actual jobs on the railroad written in railroad lingo.
Several interviews of railroad employees or retirees give the reader a first-hand look at the Clinchfield in both the steam and diesel eras. Numerous photos provide reference material for modelers and railfans. Operations are heavily covered, including all the "Turn" jobs. A must for anyone interested in the Clinchfield, Appalachian coal haulers, and mountain railroading.
