1. New River Railroad

N&W Norfolk and Western Railroad "'At its founding, NW primarily transported agricultural products. Kimball, who had a strong interest in geology, led the railroad's efforts to open the Pocahontas coalfields in western Virginia and southern West Virginia. In mid-1881, NW acquired the franchises to four other lines: the New River Railroad, the New River Railroad, Mining and Manufacturing Company, the Bluestone Railroad, and the East River Railroad. Consolidated into the New River Railroad Company, with Kimball as president, these railroads became the basis for NW's New River Division, which was soon built from New Kanawha (near East Radford) up the west bank of the New River through Pulaski County and into Giles County to the mouth of the East River near Glen Lyn, Virginia. From there, the new line ran up the East River, crossing the Virginia-West Virginia border several times to reach the coalfields to the west near the Great Flat Top Mountain. Coal transported to Norfolk soon became NW's primary commodity, and led to great wealth and profitability.""

This town was a stop on the Southside Railroad in the mid-nineteenth Century. This became the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio Railroad in 1870 and then a line in the Norfolk and Western Railway and now the Norfolk Southern Railway. The rail line from Burkville to Pamplin City was converted by Virginia Department of Parks and Recreation into High Bridge Trail State Park.

After the War, it became part of the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio Railroad formed in 1870, and was the oldest portion of the Norfolk and Western when it was formed in 1881.

In 1850, the City of Petersburg invested the money in the Southside Railroad by purchasing one million dollars of stock.

Checck for facts and relevance In a meeting at Appomattox about the time of the surrender, defeated Confederate General Robert E. Lee urged his generals to go home and start rebuilding. To the good fortune of the Southside Railroad, one of his more able young commanders, Major General William Mahone (1826–1895), did just that.

In the pre-war years, "Little Billy" Mahone of Southampton County had been educated at Virginia Military Institute as a civil engineer. A dynamic man of small stature, from 1853 to 1858, he headed the construction of the well-engineered Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad, described by occupying Union forces during the Civil War as "decidedly the best road in Virginia." Mahone had been President of the N&P prior to the war, and was well aware of many aspects of the Southside Railroad, as his road connected with it at Petersburg. He was an able leader during the war, best known as the hero of the Battle of the Crater in 1864, in which he rallied troops and foiled an initial Union success during the Siege of Petersburg.

After the war, Mahone returned to his old job and quickly set about repairing the N&P. Meanwhile,

the managers of the Southside Railroad also worked hard to restore service and rebuild bridges, stations, and rolling stock. The war had demonstrated the need to consolidate resources and connections, and

The U.S. government also rebuilt and operated the Clover Hill, the Richmond and Petersburg, the Seaboard and Roanoke and the Richmond and Danville.

moving from southside

The A,M & O did well for several years, but fell on hard times in the financial panic of 1873, which negatively impacted almost all of the railroads. After several years of operating under receiverships, Mahone's role as a railroad builder ended in 1881 when northern interests purchased the A,M, & O and renamed it Norfolk and Western.

moved The N&W merged with the smaller but also highly efficient Virginian Railway in 1959, facilitating a more favorable route for eastbound coal than offered by the former Southside Railroad west of Burkeville. However, from that point east, the combination brought an increase to the Southside Railroad alignment as former VGN traffic was rerouted through Crewe to connect with the former N & P on its way to Lambert;'s Point. Norfolk & Western Railway was combined with the Southern Railway, another profitable carrier, to form Norfolk Southern Railway (NS) in 1982.

Farmville

"The coal deposits centered around Farmville are collectively called the “Farmville Triassic Basin,” which stretches from Cumberland State Park to Briery Creek, with only a small portion straying into Buckingham. The Triassic is the first period of the Mesozoic Era, which began about 250 million years ago. The end of the Triassic period was the beginning of the Jurassic period, so there were no dinosaurs in Farmville when these coal deposits were laid down." Farmville Herald

Coal was mined in the Briery Creek Watershed near Prince Edward Courthouse from as early as 1834 and by the Piedmont Mining Company in in the 1860's.

The Triassic Basins west of Richmond were developed next. Coal was mined from the Briery Creek basin near Prince Edward Courthouse in the 1840's, and the Piedmont Coal Company mine opened in the Farmville basin in 1860.4 http://www.virginiaplaces.org/geology/coal.html

coal was first mined in Virginia from the Richmond, Briery Creek, and Farmville basins, up to fifty years before the Appalachian coal fields were developed http://www.virginiaplaces.org/geology/coal.html

Beam Bridge

Crossed Sebring Atlantic Line

The Tidewater and Western Railroad included a bridge over the Atlantic Coast Line that had been built a earlier railroad company, the Brighthope Railroad. The Ironbridge was a Granite and Iron Beam Bridge over Swift Creek. The Iron Bridge was used during the whole time the four railroad companies operated rails over the bridge. The metal on the bridge was sold as part of foreclosure of the final company in 1917. The bridge was located at the beginning of present day Ironbridge Road.
