Keep the railroad conversation going with a Virginian Railway can cooler. The VGN story runs from William Nelson Page and Henry Huttleston Rogers’ predecessor railroads to a completed coal route linking southern West Virginia with Sewell’s Point near Norfolk. Remembered for electrified mountain operations and its 1959 merger into Norfolk and Western, the Virginian remains a favorite with collectors. This cooler is an easy companion for gatherings, railfan outings, and home display.
The Virginian Railway, reporting mark VGN, was a Class I railroad created to move high-quality “smokeless” bituminous coal from southern West Virginia to Hampton Roads. Civil engineer and coal manager William Nelson Page and financier Henry Huttleston Rogers developed its predecessor lines: the Deepwater Railway, formed in West Virginia in 1898, and Virginia’s Tidewater Railway, formed in 1904. Their projects were combined as the Virginian Railway Company on March 8, 1907, with Page as its first president on April 15. The route joined the coalfields to a new pier at Sewell’s Point near Norfolk, Virginia. Its last spike was driven near Glen Lyn on January 29, 1909, and the completed line was celebrated in Norfolk that April. Known as the “Richest Little Railroad in the World,” VGN used steam, electric, and diesel power; a 134-mile electrified mountain section between Mullens, West Virginia, and Roanoke, Virginia, was completed in 1925. VGN merged into the Norfolk and Western Railway in 1959. Major portions of its route later remained in use under Norfolk Southern Railway.
