Yard Work. Running LHF, the rebuilt Dash 9 is building a train in the interchange just southeast of Harrisonburg, VA. Shortly, the crew will take the train southwest to meet the Shenandoah Valley Railroad near an open space adjacent to a farm to exchange some cars before returning here to finish the train. The building to the right is the Pleasant Valley Railroad Depot, built in 1874 as part of a series of depots constructed in response to the commercial traffic occurring in this area after the Civil War. As of the 1980s, this was the last remaining example of those depots in the region.
Solely the CW Past and Present.
July 5, 1895 CW moved its first load of freight and although its existence is merely on paper today, its roots run deep. 128 years and still moving freight. The CW operates as a subsidiary of Norfolk Southern.
