You may be familiar with the study that produced the attached 5-18-76 letter from J.R. Tipton to H.H. Bradley that describes traffic blocks that could be implemented with a new operating plan that included the Bristol-Lynchburg trackage. Ike

When I worked in Transportation Planning in 1973 I was told that the group had looked at gaining trackage rights from Bristol to Lynchburg and had concluded that they would be of little value. I wonder what changed. Bob Grabarek

Dear Ike, Great research and interesting correspondence. I never saw either study, but I first heard about the trackage rights proposal in 1973. Looks like Mr. Claytor had a bee in his bonnet about this proposal. I see that Bob Reid wrote the 1976 reply for Mr. Tipton. Mr. Claytor said no coal would be transported over this route, but I wonder what was in the cars to be picked up at Bulls Gap. I never worked between Alexandria and Spencer so I'm not familiar with the customers on that route. Bob
