Farmville line again

[NW Mailing List]

Reader's Digest summary version - the original line through Farmville,  
retained for passenger service and local freight, had much steeper grades out 
of  the Appomattox River valley.  The bypass was freight-only.
 
I'm sure others will provide much more detail, of course.

Can someone explain the original reason for having 2 routes  between 
Pamplin and Burkeville?
