Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. VERY GOOD+ No dust jacket as issued. No marks and tight binding, Lightly bumped corners. This 108-page hardcover is a detailed historical account of the Atlantic & Danville Railway (reporting mark AD), a colorful shortline and later Class I railroad that operated primarily in Virginia and parts of North Carolina. Originally built in the late 1880s with significant British capital to haul cotton, lumber, tobacco, and other goods from Southside Virginia farms and industries to deepwater ports, the line ran a main route from the Norfolk/Portsmouth area westward to Danville. It featured narrow-gauge beginnings, a shift to standard gauge, a long lease to the Southern Railway (1899?1949), independent operation, bankruptcy in 1960, and eventual absorption by the Norfolk & Western (later reorganized as the Norfolk, Franklin and Danville Railway). The book covers its full history with photographs, maps, and operational details, making it a valued resource for railroad enthusiasts interested in regional Virginia railroading. This title appeals especially to those fascinated by 19th- and 20th-century Southern shortlines, their economic impact on Piedmont agriculture and manufacturing, and the consolidation trends that shaped modern U.S. railroads.…
