As I understand it, the Southside engineers originally planned to build along the low grade line, but Farmville offered money to build the line through Farmville; so they did. Years later the N&W realized that the low grade bypass made more sense for coal movements, so they built the second line. Today it is the only line.

Can someone explain the original reason for having 2 routes between Pamplin and Burkeville?
