N&S Was: 1907 - Great Lakes To Norfolk

[NW Mailing List]

The "Norfolk & Southern", better known in later years as  the Norfolk 
Southern, became part of the Southern Ry. 1/1/74, so what's  left of it, ironically, 
is part of today's NS.  There is a historical  society for the Norfolk & 
Southern, see _http://www.norfolksouthernhs.org/_ 
(http://www.norfolksouthernhs.org/) .   Their web site gives years of operation as "1883-1974."

Approximately what years was Norfolk & Southern in operation?
Which  road absorbed it?

Thanks,

Re: 1907 -  Great Lakes To Norfolk     
Tom:

With reference to passenger stations at Norfolk --  the
1909 entry for  The Official  Guide shows the station  to
be at Main Street. This was NOT  Terminal Station, which
opened on May  31, 1912, but was told that it was on the
west side of the Terminal Building. For a time, there  had
been a temporary station at Park  Street. The railroad may 
have shared facilities with Norfolk & Southern. N&S  had a 
rather circuitous route into  Norfolk before the Virginian. It
left  the main line at Providence Junction (near today's
Greenbrier Mall), took a tack to the north through  
Kempsville, connected with the South  Route at Clapham
Junction (Euclid)  and ran west to Park Street. After the
Virginian was constructed, N&S passenger trains  operated
thru to Carolina Junction,  transferred to Virginian Railway on
trackage rights to Tidewater, then resumed the trip  to
Norfolk on its own  rails.
