The Norfolk and Atlantic Terminal Company street railway ran from downtown to the Jamestown Boulevard (today Hampton Blvd.; see under Roads….), and then over the Tanner’s Creek bridge (today, Hampton Blvd. Bridge), ending at the Sewall‘s Point ferries, at Piney Beach Pier (later, 99th Street Pier). The company had built the Jamestown Boulevard and the Tanner’s Creek bridge, also called the Norfolk and Atlantic Terminal Bridge, both of which led to the Jamestown Exposition grounds at Sewall‘s Point. Its directors included David Lowenberg, Barton Myers, and others who were major investors in the Exposition as well as the development of the areas along the Boulevard, namely Lambert’s Point and Larchmont.
