The Virginia Central Railway began life as the 38 mile three foot gauge Potomac, Fredericksburg, and Piedmont Railroad, which ran between Fredericksburg and Orange, Virginia. Standard-gauged in 1926, the PF&P was renamed Virginia Central, and subsequently abandoned 37 miles of its route in 1937. The remaining one mile route in Fredericksburg operated until 1984. Here the road’s ungainly Porter switcher displays its high-visibility paint scheme near the RF&P interchange. Had the line continued to the present day, green safety vests would be considered to be “camouflage”.
Not
