  Does anyone know if this thing was ever built?  I can't think of a railway line between Bristol and Kingsport.  The Southern ran from Bristol southeast toward Johnson City, and the Clinchfield ran through Johnson City north through Kingsport.  The ET&WNC also connected at Johnson City and headed east through Elizabethton.  The VSW ran from Elizabethton north through Bristol toward Gate City.  

  I can't find or think of any RR that went from Bristol  to Kingsport.  Was it ever built or graded for?

    Want Right of Way Donated

    Bristol, Va., Nov. 12 - Special - Farmers of Sullivan county, 
    Tennessee will be asked to donate rights of way for the proposed 
    Bristol and Kingsport railway a line of road that is badly needed 
    through the county, and which would be of incalculable benefit to the 
    numerous farmers who have for years been without a road which they 
    could use in winter to bring their products to market. Surveys for 
    the new road will made at once. Former Governor Cox, who is president 
    of the company, is very much interested in the project and will use 
    his best efforts to give the county a road without delay.
