While not exactly a railroad anymore, it DOES have a short section
of rail intact for speeder/handcar ops and is still intact as a ROW.
It is now a trail open for railfanning and walking.
Originally a USN line from Dahlgren VA to Fredericksburg VA. The part
of the line is still in use as far as the Solite Plant outside of Fredericksburg.
The question: has anyone heard anything more about the development
of this ROW? There was supposed to be an extension of the short part
of intact rail (about 1 mile, I think) and further improvements of the
walking/hiking part. Also a couple of pieces of rolling stock were
supposed to have been moved to the rail location as interpretive
exhibits. A caboose and wooden boxcar.
