Description: A $17.50 Norfolk & Petersburg Confederate Railroad Bond Coupon Note A map of the area south and east of Petersburg, drawn by the Confederate Army Engineers and approved in April 1864, shows two branch lines that are not found on any other map. One branch extends 4 miles to Young & Tucker's Mill (a steam saw mill) and the other extends 3 miles to Smith's Mill (also a steam sawmill). The two roads join each other and the Norfolk & Petersburg RR 2 miles south of Disputanta. When these branches were built is not known, but in 1863 and 1864, there was a great demand in Richmond and Petersburg for lumber to build fortifications, wagons, pontoon bridge boats, etc. The Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad was built between Norfolk and Petersburg, Virginia and was completed by 1858. The line was 85 miles of 5 ft track gauge. It played a role in the Civil War, and became part of the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio Railroad in 1870. Payable in New York by receivers of the Atlantic, Mississippi & Ohio Rail Road Company. About 4 x 2". Crisp like new condition - punch cancelled as they always come. (See Photos)
