History Ensuing a American Civil War, William Mahone (1826-1895) of Petersburg, Virginia was the thrust in the linkage of Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad, Southside Railroad and the Virginia & Tennessee Railroad in 1870 to form the Atlantic, Mississippi & Ohio Railroad (AM&O), a new line extending from Norfolk to Bristol. Fallowing many years of operating under receiverships, Mahone's role as a railroad builder ended around 1881 when the A,M & O was sold at auction, to form the Norfolk and Western Railway. Mahone, a previous Confederate general better called the hero of the Battle of the Crater, later led Virginia's Readjuster Party and was a major exponent of public schools for the education of the previous slaves and free blacks. He became the Senator in the Congress of the United States from Virginia, arranged for the issue of the A,M & O sale to help founded a school for teachers near Petersburg. Within 1882, the Virginia Normal & Collegiate Institute at Petersburg was forerunner of Virginia State College, which expanded to get Virginia State University. A school's 2 month branch inside Norfolk, Virginia, founded in 1935, became Norfolk State College, and is today called Norfolk State University.
