NS train 25A stretched out on the James River trestle. The trestle, part of Southern Railway's cutoff built around downtown Lynchburg, opened March 1, 1911.

C&O "Kanawha" class 2-8-4  #2760 on display at Riverside Park with the infamous pool in the foreground.  Rather than integrate the pool in the early 60s the City shut it down.  Looks like they're serious about filling it in now.
