Virginia and Tennessee Railroad
The Virginia and Tennessee Railroad built in the 1850s, ran completely through southwestern Virginia along the length of the Great Valley of Virginia. The railroad extended westward from Lynchburg, Virginia through a gap in the Blue Ridge Mountains near the town of Big Lick (present-day City of Roanoke); there, it turned southwestward and followed the Great Valley to Bristol, a total distance of 204 miles.
