N&W Station - Norfolk

[NW Mailing List]

The "replacement" station at Lamberts Point is on railroad 
property and is mostly unaccessible.  The NS special agents 
work out of that building and they are not friendly toward 
sightseers.  They have an ongoing program of ticketing 
trespassers.

But - you can still see the Lamberts Point station and some 
of the yard activity from the park located off of Hampton 
Blvd.  Drive down Hampton Blvd. (in Norfolk!) and look for 
the traffic light on the South side of the railroad 
underpass (closest to the Midtown tunnel).  Turn West at the 
light, park at the park and walk toward the soccer field.  
There is parking closer to the field, but you are on your 
own to find it.  It is at the end of Amistead Bridge road.  

While you are here, visit the N&W equipment display in 
Portsmouth.  From I 264 (downtown tunnel) follow the signs 
for Crawford Parkway.  There is caboose 518666, two mail 
storage cars, and a diner.

Happy railfanning.
