After arrival in Norton, the train was wyed and returned to the CC&O via the InterState R.R. and Miller Yard. The Guest River Extension of the IRR was completed in 1923, and abandoned by the Southern Rwy. around 1980. Today it is a hiking trail, but we can imagine-----.For most of the 15 miles or so from Coeburn to Miller Yard, this track is on a descending 3% grade. This was not a problem, as the coal loads were all going down the hill. Retainers were set up at the top, and used all the way to Miller Yard. At Bangor, VA (just a signpost if that). the IRR converged with the CC&O and ran as double track into Miller Yard, where a connection was made. For a time, L&N crews operated over the IRR into Miller Yard as well.All of the pix. have their own captions.Not all of the line is captured in the Kingsport Sub. simulation, only about 3 miles or so to the "edge of the local world".J.
