1950s and 1960s virginia Album created by member earl thomas jr	Album Views: 41,053
just as the 1970s were a good era in virginia railroading, the 1950s and 1960s were just as colorful as the 1970s were. this a tribute to the days of simple railroading and why it served as a basis of what it is today.
