The better view is via the Pulaski County GIS site, with the aerial photo
layer turned on.
See http://www.netgis.pulaskicountyva.gov/pulaski/index.php  You can zoom in
even
closer with better resolution, to the point where you can check out the
westbound train
with empties. With the view zoomed in to where the scale reads 1320, it is
easy to see
Crosstie Lane in Parrott. There is an interesting triangle in the property
lines there, which
seems to indicate where the original line came off the river.  I've posted a
PDF of the
view on my website, see
