N and W Blamed for Delay on R D Bailey Reservoir
A Paramount Pacific Construction spokesman in California accuses the Norfolk and Western Railway of hindering the R D Bailey Reservoir project in Mingo County by failing to supply sand and gravel and delaying right of way relocation. He says coal strikes reduced shipments, three to four times slower car delivery, and that the railroad aims to cut costs by not running cars for sand and gravel only. The firm now holds enough material for about 2,500 yards of concrete, far from the 10,000 yards needed, with all phases behind schedule. Completion for the project is targeted for June 1976, after earlier railroad segment deadlines were extended.
