>> But - you can still see the Lamberts Point station and 

some

>> Blvd.  Drive down Hampton Blvd. (in Norfolk!) and look for

>> the traffic light on the South side of the railroad

>> underpass (closest to the Midtown tunnel).  Turn West at 

the

>> light, park at the park and walk toward the soccer field.

>> There is parking closer to the field, but you are on your

>> own to find it.  It is at the end of Amistead Bridge road.

>> While you are here, visit the N&W equipment display in

>> Portsmouth.  From I 264 (downtown tunnel) follow the signs

>> for Crawford Parkway.  There is caboose 518666, two mail

>> storage cars, and a diner.

>>

>> Happy railfanning.
