A skyward view of the east end of the only siding on the former N&W Gilbert Branch. Gilbert itself is only a handful of miles to our east. From there the Virginian's small but impressive empire stretched towards Mullens, Princeton and eventually Roanoke. The N&W and VGN have long since been merged away and nowadays the NS runs this railroad mostly as one, although the current employee timetable still reference separate entries for the Gilbert and Guyandotte River branches.
