system. and it extends thence southeasterly
through Kentucky and West Virginia to Roanoke

the other branch to Richmond and to tidewater at

Vanderbilts and the Monon by Morgan interests
Norfolk and Western has shown much strength
of late in the stock market, induced primarily by
the fact that its earnings have been. increasingly
large, and perhaps also In measure by a
knowledge of possible consolidation plans.
