Norfolk Southern's New River Districts

Recent Updates About the Site/Legal Credits/Contributors Links Page

  These pages document the amazing scenic beauty to be seen along the tracks of Norfolk Southern in and around the New River Valley. The prime focus is on the Christiansburg and Whitethorne Districts between Roanoke and Bluefield, with some coverage of the Pulaski District from Radford toward Bristol.

This web site is a cooperative effort of Joe Shaw and Robb Fisher, hopefully with support from other contributing railfans.

Standard picture size on this site is 1024x768 (576x768 for verticals).

When you're done here, check out Joe Shaw's Railroad Images site, which contains several hundred pictures, mostly roster shots of freight cars, but lots of other goodies too.
