North Carolina Branch (Pulaski to Galax/Fries)

[NW Mailing List]

Why does there seem (at least to me) to be such a dearth of photos and other
information of the North Carolina branch (which the roadbed is now the New
River Trail). Winston Link never seemed to have visited the area, or anybody
else that I know of. Munsey Webb's Norfolk and Western Railway Company North
Carolina Branch (1995) is a great source of info., but I'm surprised that it
appears to be the only source of such photos and other info. This is such a
beautiful and interesting branch line, I'm surprised it wasn't visited and
photographed more as we neared the end of steam. Any thoughts about this?
Are there any other sources of good info regarding the North Carolina
Branch?

Thanks,
