George:

The bridge where the VGN spanned the South Branch was
known only as Southern Branch -- no number. The original
VGN bridge was deemed to be a menace to navigation and
was replaced by the Army Corps of Engineers. Further
upstream, near the ship yard, the N&PBL crosses South
Branch. After "S" Tower in Suffolk closed, the bridge
tender at "7" controlled the railroad crossings on the main line at
Suffolk. Heresay, but the bridge-tender now is supposed to
control the line to Sewells Point.

Kitty Hawk, as in Darr (sic) County ? You must have to
drive 60 miles before you even see a railroad. Belcross ?
Ferrell Siding ?
