​The Bristol Line is typically how it is referenced, although to the
railroad it is the Pulaski District. That is the original main line of the
Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, which made connection at Lynchburg.
Central, now Radford, was an important point on the line early on and was
the origin of the new line west to the coal fields.
