I think about your only good bet would be the original-NS line south from Norfolk through Hertford, Washington, Plymouth, NC, etc. I checked Google maps, and Hertford is a 1 hr 26 minute drive from Nags Head. I worked summer jobs in the area in the 1960s and found it hard to railfan with not a whole lot of visible daytime traffic -- don't know if this has changed at all. But hey, you take good photos. . .
