HISTORY:
The section from Harpers Ferry, West Virginia to Winchester, Virginia 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 Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and CSX Transportation through leases and mergers.
CSX reminds the public that walking along or inside of railroad property is illegal.
