Articles for The Arrow ****

[NW Mailing List]

I recently found out from a coworker that N&W designed and built highway bridges to carry public roads over its right of way.  Several of these bridges are still in service, and many are located in Bedford County.  Furthermore, these bridges weren't just standard designs, rather they were laid out and designed to fit their individual situation.  In particular, Photographer's Bridge at Blue Ridge appeared to be one of these, and I'm trying to gather some info on it as well as any others that are either out of service or have been demolished.
 
It's something quite different from what would normally appear in the Arrow, but it might be interesting.
 
I posted a question about this to the discussion list a few weeks ago, but no one responded.  Does anyone know when Photographer's Bridge was demolished?  Or better yet, when it was built?  Does anyone know of any other highway bridges built by N&W that have been demolished?  Any information anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,

The cupboard of articles for Arrow is rather bare so we need you to sit down and
start typing.

If you've been procrastinating over writing that article, NOW is the time
to get started.

Do not worry about perfect grammar. Our editors Laura Hughes and Jim Brewer
will be glad to help you in that department.

If you have a favorite N&W or Virginian Rwy topic you'd like to learn
more about, writing an article is one of the best ways to learn more about it.
If you let others on the nw-mailing-list know what you are writing on,
you'll be surprised at the assistance you'll find.

Our Archives volunteers can also help find photos, drawings and other gems to
make your article look its best.

Let us hear what YOU are working on!
