Geocache Description:

This cache is along the rails to trails located in Victoria, Virginia.

Victoria was the halfway point between Roanoke and Norfolk for the Virginian Railroad where the steam engines had to be switched and serviced before continuing to eastern and western points. After the merger with the Norfolk and Western in 1959 the tracks and other associated facilities were removed. Recently groups of citizens have voluntarily worked to develop the railroad park, including walking trails, which is part of the Southside Virginia Tobacco Heritage Trail system, along the route of the tracks. The trail is limited to non-motorized traffic (not including handicap equipment) and is for use by pedestrians, hikers, bicyclists, and horseback riders. Imagine, as you walk along the trail, what it must have been like 50 years ago when coal trains were being moved along the rails. Any logs with spoilers will be deleted.
