Atlantic & Danville Decals

[NW Modeling List]

Chuck:
I'm not exactly positive about the dates,  but
the line Danville - Portsmouth was  leased
by Southern Railway 1899-1949.   The
largest locomotive Southern could  operate
between those points was a 2-8-0.  The
A&D appeared in 1949.  FYI, the  Southern,
later the A&D reached Pinners  Point
(Portsmouth) over six miles of  trackage
right on ACL.
 
Can't cite the date NF&D replaced  A&D,
but I do know it was auctioned off  on
the steps of the courthouse on  Granby
Street in Norfolk.  An N&W lawyer  had
two checks in hand when the  bidding
started.  He was able to  purchased
the A&D for the lesser of the  two.
