Railroad Prospects Across Tennessee and Virginia Railways

The Comet reports broad railroad ambitions in 1890 spanning Danville to Johnson City and Bristol to Norfolk. Key lines and extensions connect Richmond and Danville, Winchester to Wilkesboro, and through to Johnson City, with emboldened plans by several railroad groups to create an eastern terminal at Johnson City and a network reaching Norfolk. A Carter County convention endorses Governor Taylor and Jerre Baxter for governor, while Embreeville firm signals intent to build toward Erwin, bypassing Jonesboro.
