Virginian had signs informing speed restrictions at many locations, but most were found at tight curves. These orange/yellow signs saying a speed limit were placed 200 yards in advance of the restricted speed area where another sign with the actual "SLOW" sign was placed. On the far side of the restricted speed area, another sign was placed, green sign with white lettering, "RESUME SPEED." This side of the speed limit sign is restored while the reverse side is left untouched and the lettering is in very poor condition. Rather than destroy what little remained on both sides of the sign, I chose to restore one side.
From collecting small datenails found in discarded railroad crossties to actual railroad structures, the passion for railroad history is manifested and displayed in our garden which is shown below. For us, the collection and arrangement of three dozen pieces from seven railroads makes our own Railroad Relic Sculpture Garden. Having 10 plus acres helps keep normal life and the railroad collection in perspective. Our goal is to stimulate our visitors to want to learn more after leaving.
