Friday's trip to the SRHA archives located several interesting "new" (circa 1976) topics worth scanning, two files include trackage rights projects that were never finalized.
The attached two-page letter from Graham Claytor to John Fishwick, President of the N&W (with a CC to Robert Claytor, also at the N&W) is essentially a re-start of a long running conversation about granting the Southern trackage rights on the N&W between Bristol and Lynchburg, VA. Other correspondence mentions the fact that Mr. Fishwick was "not happy" with previous conversations the Southern had with N&W that he was not aware of. (WGC's brother?)
