Farmville line again

Tue Sep 30 17:14:55 EDT 2014

As I understand it, the Southside engineers originally planned to build along the low grade line, but Farmville offered money to build the line through Farmville; so they did. Years later the N&W realized that the low grade bypass made more sense for coal movements, so they built the second line. Today it is the only line.
