Derailment near Glenvar, VA 10-30-2020

The road that went under this span is Barley Road.  I have a friend who lives west of this site on Barley Road.  Last year he and I visited this bridge and noted that it was built at the beginning of the last century as were many other viaducts and spans nearby on  the old VGN.  I wonder what NS will do concerning the others (like the one east of the Yateman  Viaduct} which seem to be in similar condition?
