Virginian Railway

[NW Mailing List]

The Virginian Railway was completed in January 1909 and merged into  
Norfolk & Western December 1, 1959.  Although approximately 75% of the  railroad 
is greatly used by Norfolk Southern today after nearly 53 years,  surviving 
structures  of the Virginian are few, scattered the length of the  railroad, 
from Norfolk to south central West Virginia. 
 
A giant step has been taken to assist in learning more about the Virginian  
by visiting some of the surviving structures with the creation of the  
VIRGINIAN RAILWAY HERITAGE TRAIL.  At most of these structures,  historical 
trail markers are being placed with the completion target being by  the end of 
2012.  They are all accessible for the public with permission  obtainable 
from a few private property owners where noted.   Visit the  link below for 
more information.
