Believe Petersburg IS correct.  The color light signal is at the crossing of N&W
and ACL's Old Main Line just east of the Petersburg depot.  Sometime in the early
20th Century, ACL by-passed the city  with the Petersburg passenger stop for through
trains actually being located in Ettrick.  South of the crossing, ACL served various
customers, ran down the middle of Washington Street and re-connected with the
new line near Exit 65 on I85.                                        Harry Bundy.
