Buford's Gap

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Buford's Gap is a wind gap in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Bedford County, Virginia. Buford's Gap was the original crossing of the Blue Ridge Mountains for the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, later the Norfolk and Western Railway, a precursor of today's Norfolk Southern Railway system. It was the sight of a battle in 1864 during the American Civil War. U.S. Highway 460 passes nearby.
