Brief Historical Background: CSX RF&P Subdivision
Via a series of mergers and acquisitions, the RF&P wound up in the hands of CSX during the 1990s. The RF&P Subdivision, the subject of this tour, is CSX's combination of RF&P trackage with Pennsylvania Railroad's route through Washington, DC. Though the subdivision begins in Richmond, this tour starts in Northern Virginia on the outskirts of Washington at what had been the RF&P's Potomac Yard.
This tour proceeds generally north and east. Most photos with a View of south or west look opposite to the tour direction. Many photos below are displayed with the kind permission of the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) that maintains a collection of photos online.
