[VGN] Virginian Railway #2870452
Description
The ########## Railway (VGN) was conceived early in the 20th century by two men. One was a civil engineer, coal mining manager, and entrepreneur, ####### ###### ##### His partner was millionaire industrialist, Henry Huttleston ####### Together, they built a well-engineered railroad that was virtually a "conveyor belt on rails" to transport high quality "smokeless" bituminous coal from southern West Virginia to port on Hampton Roads, near Norfolk, Virginia. The ######### Railway transported coal from West Virginia Coalfields to ports in Hampton Roads. It grew in spite of competition from monopolies. While other railroads curved and went over hills to get to each town, the ########## was built mostly for coal and was built as straight and steady in grade as possible.[1]
