Hey y’all join me as we explore the bridge ruins of the Virginia Tennessee railroad in Radford, Virginia. The Battle of the new river bridge occurred here in May 1864 after a short but fierce artillery battle. The bridge was rebuilt shortly after and served for a number of years until it was replaced. Thanks for watching!
