Smithfield Terminal Railroad Talk at Isle Of Wight County Museum Jan 26

25 Jan 24:

We're giving a talk on the Smithfield Terminal Railroad tomorrow at the Isle Of WIght County Museum, Virginia's shortest - and shortest lived - railroad. The STRR operated from 1948-1959 to connect Smithfield packing plants to a 10 car float just down the hill on the Pagan River. From there steam tugs take the float over to the C&O in Newport News.
