Any Milk Trains on the N&W?

[NW Mailing List]

I'll also take exception to Cinnci being the only "large city". Norfolk 
may never have grown larker than 290,000, but if you include
the southside Tidewater metro, the four cities are over a million & N&W 
passes through two of the four (plus Suffolk), and Portsmouth has the 
Beltline.
(Course when my Great-Aunt was married to the peanut farmer, Suffolk was 
only the county seat of Nansemond  Cty.)
