[edit] things related to Virginia's railroads

I have been doing a lot of research and some article work on things related to Virginia's railroads.

1. some older railroads don't seem to have AAR symbols and/or logos 2. project would benefit for a consistent way of indication of progression/succession to current major US railroads 3. individuals are becoming identified, some rather obscure

I want my work to fit in properly, and would appreciate some guidance, and help so I can concentrate my work on content. The following are suggestions/problems for the coordinator for Wikiproject Trains. I do not have a problem with eliminating some which may be considered inappropriate for the project or WP.

Thanks for any help! Vaoverland 22:01, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

NOTE: The following are NS predecessors. By 1890, the R&D System covered 3,300 miles of track in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Texas. In 1892, the R&D and subsidiaries entered receivership. Reorganized by J.P. Morgan and his New York banking firm of Drexel, Morgan and Company, they emerged in 1894 as the Southern Railway CompanySouthern Railway Company]], which controlled over 4,000 miles of line at its inception. In 1980, Southern Railway Company changed its name to Norfolk Southern Railway, and became part of today's Norfolk Southern Corporation.
