Stone Arched Trestle

[NW Mailing List]

Abandonment and removal south of Staunton was around 1942. Sale of the 
rails financed upgrading and previously deferred maintenance on the 
rest of the C&W between Staunton and Elkton.
Actually the abandoned right of way didn't "revert", it was sold back 
by an enterprising realtor who sold  it back to those who thought it 
had!
Source "The Crooked and Weedy", a good book but hard to find.

The B&O-backed Valley Railroad was completed and operated as far as 
Lexington. The stone bridge beside I-81 just south of Staunton and 
other visible grades and structures between there and Lexington were 
operated by the B&O. It appears that much of the land along that route 
reverted to the surrounding landowners.


========================================

When did the line cease operations?
