Virginia Creeper (railroad)
The Virginia Creeper was a mountain railroad, connecting Abingdon, Virginia, to Elkland, North Carolina. The railroad was in operation from 1907 to 1977, hauling lumber, iron ore, and passengers up very steep grades - deriving its name from the steam locomotives that struggled up the hills.
