Details on the construction of the District Line are taken from the original 1886-1892 construction ledgers. The 224 pages of “Clinch Valley: Norfolk & Western District Line” uses over 95 photographs, 183 drawings, 47 maps, and 27 Time Tables to illustrate and guide the reader through the history of the railroad. Many of the drawings are taken from the 1916 Resurvey Field Notebooks and the 1917 ICC Valuation notebooks."
