Tropical Storm Michael Aftermath

"Michael did extensive damage to Southside Virginia this past week. The Ringgold Rail Trail (Richmond & Danville Rail Trail) didn't escape his fury. This stone bridge over Sandy Creek lost its center arch. The bridge was built as best as I can tell in the 1850's. There is also a 150 yard stretch of line along an old millpond in Sutherlin that was destroyed."

Special Bridge Conditions Legend: R - Former location of relocated bridge. ! - At risk for demolition or destruction. X - Confirmed demolished or collapsed. S  - Dismantled and/or in storage. L -  Severe loss of historic integrity due to alteration.
