1913 Bluefield and Allegheny Central Map.

This is the way the Bluefield and Allegheny Central Railroad appeared in 1913. The map was not to change much in the next 50 years except for the addition of some branch lines. By 1950, B&AC was controlled by the Norfolk and Western, but continued to essentially run as its own entity into the 1960s. Trains north of Fairmont operated with trackage rights over the New York Central to Pittsburgh.
