Reply to "the original Norfolk Southern"

My uncle was a produce/truck farmer who lived and farmed in Bayside, VA.  The NS had a line through his property from Norfolk to Little Creek to supply the naval base.  I loved being trackside to see the daily trains pass but was too young to care much about the details of the little steam engines. I knew that they whistled, smoked, and the engineer waved.  Long ago, that line was removed and the route became the highway to enter the Bay Bridge to the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Wonderful memories!
