DEPARTMENT OP THE INTEKIOR, UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, Washington, D. C. , March 9, 190Jh SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith, for publication as a bulletin, a gazetteer of West Virginia! Very respectfully, HENRY GANNETT, Geogwvpher. Hon. CHARLES D. WALCOTT, Director United States Geological Survey. 3 A GAZETTEER OF WEST VIRGINIA. HENRY GANNETT. DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE. The State of West Virginia was cut off from Virginia during the civil war and was admitted to the Union on June 19, 1863. As orig­ inally constituted it consisted of 48 counties; subsequently, in 1866, it was enlarged by the addition -of two counties, Berkeley and Jeffer­ son, which were also detached from Virginia. The boundaries of the State are in the highest degree irregular. Starting at Potomac River at Harpers Ferry,' the line follows the south bank of the Potomac to the Fairfax Stone, which was set to mark the headwaters of the North Branch of Potomac River; from this stone the line runs due north to Mason and Dixon's line, i. e., the southern boundary of Pennsylvania; thence it follows this line west to the southwest corner of that State, in approximate latitude 39° 43i' and longitude 80° 31', and from that corner north along the western boundary of Pennsylvania until the line intersects Ohio River; from this point the boundary runs southwest down the Ohio, on the northwestern bank, to the mouth of Big Sandy River.

    SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD STB Finance Docket No. 33388 CSX CORPORATION AND CSX TRANSPORTATION, INC., NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORPORATION AND NORFOLK SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY --CONTROL AND OPERATING LEASES/AGREEMENTS-- CONRAIL INC. AND CONSOLIDATED RAIL CORPORATION MERGER TEAM’S FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS BROAD ISSUES 1. Overview. We recommend that the Board approve this application. 2. Embraced Proceedings. We recommend that the Board approve the 38 embraced proceedings, which include authorizations relating to 22 construction projects; various trackage rights; and certain limited abandonment requests covering about 60 miles of track. 3. NITL League Settlement With Modifications. We recommend that the Board impose the NIT League settlement agreement, with certain modifications. The agreement requires CSX and NS immediately to begin coordinating with shippers through a Conrail Transaction Council, and to complete their computerized information systems and obtain labor implementing agreements before “Day 1,” the date NS and CSX begin integrating Conrail into their respective rail systems. The agreement calls for carrier reporting and Board oversight, and creates certain safeguards for shippers who (a) have contracts with Conrail; (b) use facilities that will become incorporated within Shared Asset Areas; (c) use reciprocal switching provided by Conrail; or (d) will have Conrail single-line service replaced by CSX/NS joint-line service. We recommend that the Board modify certain terms of the NIT League settlement agreement as follows: (a) expand the 3-year oversight provision to 5 years. (b) expand the section affording remedies for shippers whose pre- transaction single-line Conrail service will become post-transaction joint-line CSX/NS service so that these remedies apply to and benefit Class III rail carriers at their option.

  • Webster Springs Sycamore by Will Blozan
    Notable Trees and Forests Bulletin of the Eastern Native Tree Society. WEBSTER SPRINGS SYCAMORE Will Blozan 1, Jess Riddle 2, and Ron Busch 2 1 President, Eastern Native Tree Society 2 Eastern Native Tree Society I was reading through Colby Rucker’s list of big trees by state in preparation for the trip to Pennsylvania for the Cook Forest Rendezvous. I was interested in West Virginia since we have almost no tree data from the entire state, aside from Cathedral State Park. I came across Colby’s description of the Webster Springs Sycamore, a massive tree listed as the “largest tree in WV” and the “largest sycamore in the world.” Colby also inferred that based on wood volume, it may be “one of the largest trees in the East.” Curious, I proposed to my travel mates (Jess Riddle and Ron Busch) that we try to find it and take measurements. On our way back from Cook we found the tree. We were impressed that there was actually a brochure (titled simply “Big Sycamore”) about the tree in the West Virginia Welcome Center off the interstate. The photos were impressive and the directions easy to follow (even though the map indicated that the roads were straight!). Driving though blinding snow and hill after hill of nauseating twists, we arrived at the cute town of Webster Springs, West Virginia. The brochure map gave directions up a dirt road along the Back Fork of the Elk River. The road ended in a turn-around with View looking up the Webster Sycamore, highlighting a suspension bridge over the river and several the lack of a top and handful of live branches in the interpretive signs.

  • Railroad Safety Statistics Annual Report, 2000
    RailroadRailroad SafetySafety StatisticsStatistics In 1869, a single spike connected the Transcontinental U.S.U.S. Railroad.Railroad. ANNUAL REPORT 2000 InIn 2000,2000, RailroadsRailroads connectedconnected peoplepeople faster.faster. JULY 2001 Railroad Safety Statistics-Annual Report 2000 FOREWORD The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has established an ultimate goal of “Zero Tolerance” for railroad-related accidents, injuries and fatalities. In pursuit of that goal, significant progress has been made, particularly over the past six years, in reducing the number of train collisions, derailments, highway-rail grade crossing incidents, and injuries to railroad workers. These results have been achieved because of a collaborative effort involving the FRA, railroad management, rail labor, equipment suppliers, and contractors, as well as other federal and state agencies whose mission involves ensuring railroad safety. Central to the success of this rail safety effort is the ability to understand the nature of rail-related accidents and to analyze trends in railroad safety. The FRA’s Railroad Safety Statistics – Annual Report 2000 is intended as a resource for the FRA’s safety partners. It is also intended as a general reference source for individuals and organizations with an interest in rail safety issues. Statistical data, tables and charts are provided to depict the nature and cause of many rail-related accidents and incidents that occurred in 2000 Furthermore, selected historical data is included to provide a baseline for understanding the railroad industry’s improving safety performance. It is hoped that the information provided in this publication will provide insight into the most significant safety issues facing the rail industry and, in turn, lead to continued rail safety improvements.
