Excerpt: Shenandoah Valley Railroad was a line completed on June 19, 1882 extending down the Shenandoah Valley from Hagerstown, Maryland USA through the West Virginia panhandle into Virginia to reach Roanoke, Virginia and a connection with the Norfolk and Western Railway (N&W). The development of this railroad had considerable backing from the Pennsylvania Railroad. On September 1890 it went into bankruptcy and was reorganized as the Shenandoah Valley Railway. Then in December 1890, it became part of N&W. Today the tracks are a major artery of the Norfolk Southern system. South of Harrisonburg, Virginia, a former part of the Norfolk Southern System a few miles west was a parallel line originally called the Valley Railroad. It was built in the late 19th century by Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, a fierce competitor of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The line was purchased in 1942 by the Chesapeake Western Railway. A portion extending northward from Staunton, Virginia in Augusta County and Rockingham County became a new short-line railroad formed late in the 20th century by several major shippers. The historic name of the once rival was adopted for the current privately-owned intrastate...

Download or read book The Shenandoah Valley and Virginia, 1861 to 1865 written by Sanford Cobb Kellogg and published by . This book was released on 1903 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No section of the United States furnishes a fuller picture of the extraordinary operations of two American armies, pitted against each other for four long years, than does the beautiful "Valley of Virginia," from Harper's Ferry south to Staunton. Its most important city, Winchester, in the lower valley, was occupied or abandoned sixty-eight times by the troops of both armies, as has been said by men of the period of 1861 to 1865, still living there. Indeed, that city changed commanders so frequently and so suddenly that it became customary for the inhabitants to ascertain each morning, before leaving their dwellings, which flag was flying--the Stars and Stripes or the Stars and Bars. Aside from its superb location, framed in by the Blue Ridge on the east and the Alleghenies on the west, the bottom lands watered by the two branches of the Shenandoah on either side of the main valley, it produced wonderful crops of grain and droves of horses, cattle and swine, proving a bountiful granary to either army that occupied it. -- Preface.

Book Synopsis A Trip by Rail in the Shenandoah Valley on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and the Southern Railway by : Bob Cohen
Download or read book A Trip by Rail in the Shenandoah Valley on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and the Southern Railway written by Bob Cohen and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and Southern Railway line in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley: from Brunswick to Harper's Ferry on the mainline, and then all the way up the Valley, 163 more miles in all, to Lexington, VA, via Strasburg and Harrisonburg. Each station and its community is included with a basic history along with individual passenger station data. Every station along that right-of-way is covered. Nearly all have photographs, most from "way back when." For many images this is their first time in print. The earliest photograph dates from around the mid-1880s and is as sharp as can be. Putting together a comprehensive listing of all, or at least as many as could be uncovered, of the assigned agents at the various depots along the way was challenging, indeed. This data alone makes for a fascinating study, with one of the station agent listings nearly complete all the way back to 1836. Profusely illustrated with 100+ images and 9 different maps strategically placed throughout the narrative to guide the reader through a region that has received far too little historical coverage up to the present. Coverage is also included for other railroads that crossed or interchanged with the B&O and Southern at various points along the main line. This is the case at Charlestown, Winchester, Strasburg, Harrisonburg, Staunton and Lexington where the Norfolk & Western, Pennsylvania RR, Winchester & Western, and Chesapeake & Ohio receive noteworthy attention." The author believes that readers will find the information captivating as this little-covered rail line now starts to receive the recognition it truly deserves.--Amazon.com.
Book Synopsis Norfolk and Western Railway Stations and Depots by : C. Nelson Harris
Download or read book Norfolk and Western Railway Stations and Depots written by C. Nelson Harris and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tracks of the Norfolk and Western Railway snaked through Virginia's Shenandoah Valley and the coalfields of West Virginia. For nearly 100 years, the Norfolk and Western brought freight, passengers, and economic vitality to large cities and rural mining towns. At each stop was the depot or station; some stations were large, architecturally ornate structures that represented the muscular energy and romantic era of this great steam railway with its famed J-class engines. In other places there were small wooden depots that depicted the hard-scrabble life of the mining communities, tucked amid steep mountain valleys that were indelibly shaped by the railway's presence. Today some of those structures remain, while many disappeared when the railway ceased passenger or other service. The Norfolk and Western eventually merged with the Southern Railway, and though the trains of the Norfolk Southern still run along those same lines, they simply pass by where they used to stop many years ago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A close study of one region of Appalachia that experienced economic vitality and strong sectionalism before the Civil War This book examines the construction of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad through southwest Virginia in the 1850s, before the Civil War began. The building and operation of the railroad reoriented the economy of the region toward staple crops and slave labor. Thus, during the secession crisis, southwest Virginia broke with northwestern Virginia and embraced the Confederacy. Ironically, however, it was the railroad that brought waves of Union raiders to the area during the war
