Concord to Lynchburg, VA

[NW Mailing List]

Are you talking about the old passenger line that left the mainline around Concord and rejoined it at Forest after passing through downtown Lynchburg where the passenger station was at that time?

Gentleman: Can anyone help me respond to this query?
 
“I was told by someone that years ago a train track came through Concord, Virginia to Lynchburg, Virginia.
They said the tracks were taken up in the late fifties and maybe early nineteen sixties.
Since the person saying this tends to stretch the truth sometimes.
I thought I would look it up on the Internet but cannot find anything about it.
Is that true what was said?  They said it was taken out when the four lane was put in.
Thank you for any information and forwarding this to the correct person.”
 
Thanks,
 
Kyle Davis
