Until 1970, N&W had two sections rated for psgr train
speeds of 65 MPH - Walton to Bristol. They were:
Max-Meadows - Marion
Seven Mile Ford - Bristol

There were speed restricted curves in the two areas,
the reverse curve at Snapp comes to mind.

Prior to the merger with Southern, N&W was
contemplating removing the traffic control. There
were only the Roanoke-Bristol trains, RB-3 and BR 2
and a week day local that worked as far as
Wytheville , then turned back. Wednesday was the
day set aside for the local to work the Abingdon Br.
