Jimmy,

That is a belt line since it connectws two points: the N&W line to the C&O line.  There was a belt line in Roanoke from the West Roanoke yards to the Wnston-Salem line.

  "On the N&W a belt line originally was a through line around an congested or easier grade area while leaving an old line in service.  Best examples are the Lynchburg, Farmville, and Petersburg belt lines."

  To counter that, there was the "C&O belt line" in Waynesboro, Va. that went from the N&W's "Southbound Siding" and roughly followed along the west bank of the river around to the C&O siding west of their station. As with Waynesboro yard, both the C&O and N&W served quite a few industries along the line.
