Website Updates

[NW Mailing List]

There are several new additions to the Rails in Virginia website to talk about so here we go...

A page for the N&W's old mainline through Farmville has (finally!) been added.  I'm thinking of creating separate photo pages for images taken during the abandonment process and post-abandonment years as I've got much more material to add.

Tidewater Junction in Norfolk has also been added to the Abandoned Rails section.  This was the former crossing of the Virginian Railway and the Norfolk Southern Railway's South Beach Route now completely changed as a result of The Tide light rail system being constructed.

Speaking of the Virginian, many new photos have been added to the Virginian signal page.

Thanks to the generosity of Mr. Bill Volkmer, I am able to share some photos he took during an excursion trip to Matoaka, WV along the N&W's Bluestone Branch.  This was inconjunction with the 1957 NRHS Convention which was held in Roanoke.
