 Ed King did a great article on the ins and outs of Bristol in
*Trains*back in the March 2004 issue, in the article "Railroad
blueprint: Bristol,
Tennessee/Virginia" that covered operations, locations, and had maps of the
area. You can order the issue from the Trains website for $5.95 (or it is
on sale right now for $4.15, but I don't know if that is for everyone or
because I'm registered as a subscriber). At any rate, Ed did a good job and
the article is worth the price. As to what is left of the facilities, the
passenger station is still there and there is a yard, but that is about it.
