Aubrey:

Do you mean Sep. 16 and 23? Sep. 18 is not a Saturday.

As a child, I rode my Schwinn bike to many places when I was out of school and got to know the railroad men who worked on N&W, C&O and Southern railroads. But as I look back, I am so glad I spent as much time as I did on the old mainline, Island Yard, Lynchburg Tunnel and so on. Sometimes the Island Yard crew let me operate the RS-3 to Leptic, once we cleared the actual yard.  Are you wondering where Lepric was?

I am called my program, "The First Life of the James River Heritage Trails."  That first life was as N&W's mainline! Actually, it was the Virginia & Tennessee and Southside railroads, with the V&T starting operation in 1852! In the program I will show archival and contemporary pictures, some from the 1800's, and describe the many businesses, industries and rail facilities that once thrived along and shipped on N&W. On the following two Saturdays, Sept. 18 and 23, I will lead bike rides/tours of the trail. We will do the east end into Amherst County the first day and the west end on the second day. Including two branches (one being the L&D), the trails total nearly ten miles, all paved.  The program and tours are free.
