Arthur VA near Elliston

[NW Mailing List]

There is an alternate alignment on the Christiansburg grade at Arthur.
 I have walked this grade, and it is a very old grade.  My question
is, is this the remains of an old shoofly track, or is it the original
alignment?
Ben:
Following is an excerpt from the 5th Annual Report for fiscal year
ending 6/30/1901:

"Tunnel No. 4, west of Shawsville, which was 150 feet long, and
Tunnel No. 12, hear Willis, which was 90 feet long, have been
converted into double-track open cuts."
                                                                     Harry Bundy
