Backside of 360

I'm on the backlots of Route 360, in the town of Meherrin, VA. The Norfolk and Western R.R. rambles on through the brambles. Paralleling Patrick Henry Parkway. The old mixes with the new. The past is present. I can see it busted down along the woodlines, older abandoned homesites wrapped in vines that get tied like twine. I found the time to unfold this rhyme while daydreaming around this town. The history, for better or worse, is stamped here. Meherrin Station objective: destroy Southern track and rolling stock, circa 1864. Patrick Henry Parkway (Route 360) cuts out Moore's Ordinary Rd. and the history lessons. But, the railroad tracks tell the tales.
