Eastern Railroad Discussion > NC-VA RR, Roxobel, NC, November 2010Date: 01/14/12 16:01 NC-VA RR, Roxobel, NC, November 2010 Author: NCDave This is in northeastern NC, in Bertie County. November 16, 2010 was a cloudy day when NC-VA 3813 lead the outbound train through Roxobel, enroute to Boykins, VA with a load of heavy steel as the railroader in the white vehicle inspects the rollby. No. 4000 is in the lead on a return trip through the same crossing, November 2, 2010. Note peanut trailers on the right.

Glad to see someone else shooting the NCVA. I grew up in Tidewater and often shot NCVA from Boykins to Ahoskie. Glad to see someone else doing it as well. Nice work Grady Asheville, NC Date: 01/14/12 18:35 Re: NC-VA RR, Roxobel, NC, November 2010 Author: NCDave Grady, thanks for the good words. I have followed your posts and gathered that you had some roots in this general area. I will never be much of a photographer, but have always enjoyed the railroading around here. I will post some more NC-VA if there is some interest here.
