Thank you Kristin, that furthers my efforts "sorta backwards"
(Norfolk to Suffolk, then NW), but yeah, "not detailed enough:" I
can get from Norfolk along U.S. 460 to where it crosses I-295 near
Petersburg, but from there I see no obvious rail connection to either
the Petersburg or Ettrick rail stations. After crossing I-295, then
Wagner Road, there appears to be two potential routes at the wye.
But no matter which track you switch to, both of them cross (not
switch) to track at 90 degrees, not connecting to Ettrick. (The west
switch near Wells/Halifax Roads, the north switch north of the W
Washington Street dual-carriageway split).
So I can figure this out to within the last few miles around
Petersburg (and again, thank you), but there still remains a small
unknown gap between the wye and Ettrick -- kind of weird.

I've got just one word for that: Wow!
