Shenandoah Subdivision

The Shenandoah Subdivision is a railroad line owned and operated by CSX Transportation in the U.S. states of West Virginia and Virginia. The line runs from Brunswick, Maryland, and immediately crosses over the Potomac River into Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, and continues southwest to Strasburg, Virginia,[1] along a former Baltimore and Ohio Railroad line. Its northeast end is at a junction with the Cumberland Subdivision; at its southwest end, it intersects the Norfolk Southern Railway's B-Line.[2][3]

History

The piece from Harpers Ferry to Winchester opened in 1836 as the Winchester and Potomac Railroad. The Winchester and Strasburg Railroad opened the rest of the line in 1870. The line became part of the B&O and CSX through leases and mergers.

gollark: Even the dynamic DNS thing, which just `curl`s every 5 minutes to a specific URL, broke for a few hours until I fixed it by... restarting it? And I have no idea why.
gollark: None of my setup is simple or unambigious.
gollark: I had issues porting my v1 config to the v2 caddyfile because the syntax was kind of ambiguous, and I posted on the forum and got a response eventually and stuff, but then it had annoyed me enough that I just renginced.
