NS sets $3 million price on Bramwell Pocahontas tracks
Norfolk Southern has set a firm 3 million price for about four miles of track between Bramwell and Pocahontas as two state tourist train efforts seek funding and assets. Officials argue that donations of land or track are unlikely and a plan must include equipment, property, and facilities, plus building track and a bridge. Local leaders convened a Bluefield meeting to align strategies and consider next steps, with reactions mixed on whether NS would donate or sell and how governance appointments will shape the response.

New school traffic schedules ease Bluefield Princeton dropoffs
Greg Jordan reports on Bluefield Intermediate and Princeton Primary opening in August 2000. Bus and parent flows stabilized after initial jams on Route 460 and Tiger Drive. Buses now arrive at 2:15 p.m. and depart by 2:30 p.m. A proposed Route 460 intersection tweak could boost throughput. Princeton parents benefited from a new parking lot near the kindergarten wing and cooperative routines, with smoother days ahead.
