The Norfolk, Franklin & Danville at one time operated 250 miles of track between Norfolk, Virginia and Danville, Virginia . There was also a 50 mile branch from near Emporia to Claremont on the James River plus several shorter branches. It was under lease to the Southern Railway (US) when it became independent. It was acquired by the Norfolk And Western Railway in 1962 and operated as NF&D with second generation diesels. The Claremont branch is long gone, and the main line is gone between Lawrenceville and Blanche. It is now operated as a couple of branch lines by Norfolk Southern .
