Tim, thanks for the pics of "Suffolk". My brother lives near there and I have visited the place several times myself. I think Suffolk had about 5 railroads serving the town. Sadly most of the stations are gone now except this one and perhaps the N&W (NS) station which was being used as a yard office last time I was there for the Suffolk local.

Hi SP Man:
That is correct! 5 railroads served this town, and the old N&W is still standing. This will be the route used by Amtrak when service extends to Norfolk, VA. I was told that the N&W station will not be a stop on the line. Here's a photo.

If anyone would like to see more of the rail action in Suffolk, look up the MidWeek Photos thread in the RealTrains OGR forum sometime on Wednesday morning.
