South Side |
| The road was chartered in 1846.
Construction was begun in 1849 and completed in 1854. It connected the farm country south
and west of Petersburg to that city and to City Point, with its
connections to Northern ports. It also connected to the Virginia
& Tennessee Railroad at Lynchburg.
Company documents use South Side and Southside interchangeably. The
Petersburg Depot was in the center of the city; the company's shops were
on the north side of the Appomattox River, about one mile west of the
main depot (Shops 1,
Shops 2).
