| The {Virginia} Central
railroad |
| The injury sustained by this
road from the raiders is slight, and only such as to prevent the
running of the trains for a few days. In the neighborhood of the
Chickahominy they destroyed the trestle work over the Brook, and some
fifteen feet of what is known as the dry trestling on the other side
of the Chickahominy. At Beaver Dam they were up some hundred yards or
more of track, and burnt one or two unimportant railroad
buildings. This is about the extent of the damage inflicted upon the
road. |
