Virginian Railway Heritage Trail

[NW Mailing List]

During the Virginian Day at Virginia Museum of Transportation this Saturday 
 there will be a press conference and a public announcement concerning a 
new  opportunity for Virginian research, study and just plain fun, "The  
Virginian Railway Heritage Trail."    Stretching  from the coal piers of Norfolk, 
Virginia to Charleston, West Virginia where  VGN's passenger service ended, 
about two dozen surviving and significant  locations are identified with 
information and directions provided. These  locations will be structures and 
facilities that were important to the success  of the Virginian. The 
locations will, for the most part, be identified by  Virginian Railway Heritage 
Trail Historical Marker signs. The information for  each site will include 
vintage and contemporary pictures as well as historical  material and can be 
found by using the Internet link on each sign and the link  below. A trail guide 
book will be published in the upcoming months.
 

I hope others will find it easier to locate, explore and learn about  
interesting places we have read about and have seen in published photographs. 

I hope to see you Saturday!
