NG and mining in Dumfries Virginia
| April 08, 2013 06:40PM |
I recently purchased a group of original photos showing a large mining operation in Dumfries Virginia. From my research this is the Cabin Branch mine, they also operated their own narrow gauge railroad. They operated a 0-4-0 Porter, a 0-6-0 named the Dewey, and a small Climax named the Virginia. Does anyone know more about this operation or know of additional photos? The NPS owns the mine site now - they have only one original photo of the mine.
