After the merger in 1959, a new connection was made at Kellysville.  
About 1970-71, VDOT wanted to widen route 460 west of Narrows, which  
was a hazardous road, still is. So N&W eliminated the former VGN  
mainline from Kellysville to Narrows and built a new connection and  
bridge across the river to allow eastbound trains to move over to the  
VGN main. It connects back into the VGN just east of the town of  
Narrows.
