NEW RAILROAD PROJECT
------
Branch Line From Rich Creek, on Virginian, to Peterstown

A railroad project is on foot that means a branch line from Rich Creek [Giles County Virginia] on the Virginian Railway, opposite Lurich, to Peterstown, a distance of four miles. This line follows Rich Creek through a rich section, traversing the Shumate and Charlie Dunn lands. It will open up a new territory for ties, stave and tan bark timber along Peters valley. It is being promoted by W. H. Ballard, a wealthy business man of Peterstown.

[Another railroad scheme that never materialized, in-so-far as I know.]
