While I am aware of the history of the now-gone Washington & Old Dominion RR,
I am wondering if there is any surviving rails or trackage still visible anywhere
along the line? I know that a lot was paved over for the rail trail, but wonder if
maybe some industrial, private or other spurs might still be around.
Many times when RRs were abandoned and taken up, some trackage would be
left behind on private ROWs and property or just plain ignored, thus leaving a
trace of the railroad.
How about it, old timers?
Thanks.
