The Norfolk and Western once rolled through the town of Nitro, West Virginia on the Pocahontas Division. Historic names punctuate this region, towns that I have strolled through the last few days. I ate breakfast this morning in Dunbar, WV, where a quiet Norfolk Southern track sees about four or so trains a day. On my drive up from Roanoke, I passed through the town of Bluefield, where coal trains roll to this day, bringing the wealth of this region to the shoals at Norfolk. This is West Virginia, as seen through the eyes of a fan of the Norfolk & Western.
