WILL RIDE OVER ROAD BUILT
BY THEIR COMRADES

Washington, DC January 10
Confederate veterans who travel to
Washington over the Southern Rail-
way to attend the annual reunion.
May 28th-June End, 1917, will ride
over one stretch, 48 miles in length,
which was built by Confederate sol
dlers and has remained as perhaps
the most permanent monument of
any work done by the Confederacy.
This is the line between Greensboro,
N. c.. and Danville, Va, now a part
of the Southern's Atlanta Washing
ton line.
When the war began there was
no railroad connecting the Rich
mond and Danville with the North
Carolina system of railroads. The
Confederate authorities saw the
strategic value of such a line and
were able to bring to bear sufficient
pressure to overcome the obstacles
which had previously stood in the
way of its construction owing to the
rivalry of North Carolina and Vir-
ginia, each state seeking to protect
its own railway interests. The neces-
sary-rail was procured by tearing
up other roads and when at the
close of thezwar the line was con-
fiscated by the United States as one
of the assets of the Confederacy,
these was prolonged litigation before
the Richmond and Danville secured
undisputed title.
The origin of this line is remem-
bered in many:local traditions, and
names, among them Tennessee
Curve" said to have been so called
because the grading at this point
was done by men of a Tennessee reg
iment
Since the Southern Railway un-
dertook its extensive improvement
program, this entire line has been
double tracked, but very few changes
were found necessary in the 10 atlon
as determined by the wartime en-
gineerG.
