Und er column headed "Stations," stations capitalized indicate Junction Points with Foreign Lines.  (Example: DANVILLE, VA.)
Stati ons capitalized with # after, (Example: KOEHLER #) indicate that at this station there is, with a foreign line, a joint agency of some character.
Stati ons capitalized with % after, (Example: LEAKSVILLE JUNCTION %) indicate a divisional or line junction point.
f in "Descriptive" column indicated freight agency.
t Local Ticket Agency, at which only local tickets are sold, and at which local passenger trains will stop to take on or let off passengers.
tc Ticket Agency, at which both local and coupon tickets are sold, and at which local passenger trains will stop to take on or let off passengers.
a freight shipped to those stations must be prepaid.
b or absence of any character in descriptive column denotes that freight must not be billed to those stations or points.

h carload freight only may be handled inbound and outbound.
j carload freight only may be handled outbound only.
q Company material only may be handled.

This data was transcribed from Southern Ry. Station Directory #5, dated July 4, 1912.  I have attempted to copy it exactly as printed, except I have eliminated irrelevant columns and explanation items.  For example, the original chart has separate columns for the mileage to the freight and passenger stations, but as they are all the same on the D&W I have combined them into a single column.  It may contain typographical errors (for example, the station number for White Siding should logically be 51, not 11), but I have chosen to present it as originally published.
