With the repeal of caboose laws that mandated their use and since it was a non-revenue car, railroads discontinued its use in the 1980s.

description: A foreman gauges track to make certain the distance between the rails is exactly 4 feet, 8 inches. In 1883, the N&W operated primarily on a 5-foot gauge; however, on June 1, 1886, the N&W and other southern railroads adopted the now-standard gauge of 4 feet, 8 1/2 inces. At daybreak on June 1, the N&W ceased all freight and passenger train operations and labor gangs began respiking the rails. By early afternoon, the job was complete. It is estimated that the N&W and other southern railroads changed 11,000 miles of track that day. One N&W historian noted that this was the single, greatest one-day change ever to occur in the history of the railroad.

description: A hopper with coal is ready to go. 1970 was the peak for N&W coal traffic, when the railway carried 90.6 million tons of coal. While coal was profitable, it was not always a source of revenue. Floods, miner strikes, and other labor disputes cut deeply into N&W's coal traffic. During the 1978 strike of BRAC, for example, the amount of coal hauled dropped to 47 million tons.

The designers and engineers of the N&W developed the steam locomotive to its highest potential. As one observer noted about the N&W and steam, "No one taught them anything. They were the ones that wrote the book". The last steam engine produced by N&W was a switcher engine that rolled out of the Roanoke Shops in December 1953. After 70 years of steam engines, N&W began buying diesel engines in 1955.

description: This electric locomotive, Engine No. 126, was from the Virginian Railway. The Virginian was formed by Henry Rogers for $30 million in 1907. Having made his fortune in oil, Rogers died a month after the Virginian was officially formed and his position was assumed by his son. Known for its smooth runs and efficient bottom line, the Virginian made a record 4-hour run from Roanoke to Norfolk in 1918. Three years later, it set another record: a coal train of 110 cars carrying 17,050 tons of coal moved from Roanoke to Sewells Point, the location of its coal pier. In 1958, N&W approached the Virginian about a merger and the following year, the Interstate Commerce Commission approved the sale.

The Nickel Plate was officially the New York, Chicago, and St. Louis Railroad Company, which opened in 1882. By 1950, the Nickel Plate has 2,266 miles of track and over 16,000 employees. N&W approached the Nickel Plate in early 1960 about a merger, which consummated in 1964. A $2,000 investment in Nickel PLat stock in 1947 would have yielded $63,000 at the time of the merger, excluding two decades worth of dividends. Shown here is Engine No. 303.

description: Like many railroads, the lines of the Wabash Railway Company predated the company's formation in 1877. The history of the Wabash is long and complicated, involving certain dubious personalities, mergers, receiverships, and a wavering bottom line. In 1920, Decatur, Illinois became the hub of the Wabash's activities. In 1931, the Wabash became the first American railroad to go into receivership due to the Depression. In 1941, it was controlled by Pennsylvania interests. Although solvent, the Wabash was plagued by intense competition and a precarious profit margin. Thus, the Wabash welcomed N&W's leasing of the company in 1964. Shown here is Wabash Engine No. 2515 at the Wabash yard in Decatur, Illinois.

description: Henry Fink, president of N&W from 1895 until 1902, was the chief operating officer for Mahone's AM&O Railroad. A life-long bachelor, Fink had immigrated to the United States with his brother in 1851 and became a railroad engineer four years later. While N&W president, Fink often directed the railway's activities from his New York office. Though providing N&W steady leadership, Fink made one significant error in judgment; he saw little future in coal. During a visit to the Norfolk division in 1895, his superintendents pleaded for him to approve sidings and storage tracks for more coal traffic. Fink reportedly replied, "What would we do with coal when we got it down here?" No one will buy it. And none of us can eat it. Wait awhile."

description: General William Mahone served as the president of the AM&O Railroad for its 10-year existence. Gen. Mahone first gained attention during the Civil War as a field commander, notorious for his unorthodox battle antics. Following the war, Mahone immersed himself in the political and business affairs of Virginia, becoming president of three different railroads at the same time. His energy and political savvy led the Virginia legislature to approve merging his three railroads into the AM&O. His detractors said the initials "AMO" stood for "All mine and Otelia's", Otelia being Mahone's wife.

description: The N&W, like all major railroads, served its country well during World War II for the movement of troops and military freight. In fact, passenger service reached its zenith during wartime. While the exact location of this scene is unknown, it certainly represents what was a common occurrence at rail stations across the country - men leaving with family and loved ones bidding them goodbye. In World War I, the Federal Government had taken over the railroads to manage military transportation. In World War II, however, the railroads railroads organized themselves, allowing the Federal Government to only coordinate (not control) military transportation. During World War II, the N&W moved the most freight in its history. Nearly ten percent of the N&W's workforce served in the Armed Forces during World War II.

The engine had 12 traction motors, weighed in at 1.1 million pounds, and was 161 feet long. Delivered in 1954, it was classed as a TE-1 for turbine-electric. The engine proved flawed; it's high cost, complex control system, inability to fit a standard turntable, and specialized crew demands caused N&W to retire the engine in 1957.

He declined and suggested the location be called Roanoke, which it became in 1882. At 38, he was president of the Shenandoah Valley Railroad when he was tapped to be the N&W's first chief operating officer. He then served as the N&W's president or chairman for 20 years, from 1883 until his death in 1903. Kimball was interested in the coal fields of West Virginia and on a weekend trip in May 1881, Kimball, his wife, and others journeyed to the state. At Abb's Valley, Kimball turned to his wife and uttered the greatest understatement in N&W history: "This may be a very important day". Kimball's wife suggested the vein be called "Pocahontas".

A Guide to the Giles County Poll Books Collection, 1809-1923
description: This is a guide to the poll books of Giles County, which cover the years 1809-1923. Poll books contain election returns for local, state, and national government; votes on state issues include infrastructure improvements to bridges, roads, the railroad, and changes to the state constitution. Also included in this series is a tithe book (1820), petitions, and receipts for local school and dog taxes. Poll books are precinct records listing the names of the persons who voted and the candidate for whom they cast their vote. Twentieth century records are anonymous ballots. The tithe book lists the names of male personal property owners. Categories include number of white males (16+), blacks (12+, 16+) horses and mules. Petitions and receipts list the individual residents of Giles County to whom the petition or receipts pertain. Records are arranged chronologically by year and thereunder by election. The records are for the following years: 1809, 1815, 1817, 1819-1828, 1830, 1836, 1837, 1840, 1841, 1842, 1844, 1846-1848, 1850-1852, 1855, 1856, 1860, 1862-1864, 1874, 1877, 1881, 1899, 1914, 1918, and 1923.

A Guide to the Giles County Tithe Books Collection
description: This a guide to the Tithe books for Giles County, which cover the time period of 1820-1845. The tithe books were entitled “Tithe Book” or “List of Taxable Property” or “List of Revenue.” Tithes were small taxes or assessments that were collected annually by the Commissioner of the Revenue. Each book lists the names of males chargeable with a property tax. Categories include number of white males above 16 years; blacks above 12 years; blacks above 16 years; horses, mares and colts; free Negroes and mulattoes (not a category in 1820); stud horses; rates of covering by the season; and the sum total of the taxes. The tithe books for 1820, 1821 and 1833 included lists of merchants, taverns, ordinaries (inn serving alcoholic beverages), stores, and houses of private entertainment that received licenses. The 1820 and 1823 tithe books include separate lists of free negroes and mulattoes. The 1845 list of revenue is similar to the tithe books because it contains lists of males chargeable with revenue, but does not list individual tax categories. Records are arranged chronologically for the following years: 1820, 1821, 1823, 1824, 1833, 1840-1842, 1845.
