Washington & Old Dominion Railroad Revisited

Washington & Old Dominion Railroad covered the

railroad's corporate history, construction, and operation. This

second volume expands the coverage with a geographic focus on four

locations: Rosslyn, Great Falls, Leesburg, and Purcellville. The images

within offer a look at the railroad's feed and grain business, railfan-type

views of equipment, and a visual record of methods used to maintain

the right-of-way and place equipment back on the tracks. Additionally,

this work offers a history of the conversion of the right-of-way into the

very popular Washington & Old Dominion Railroad Regional Park.

Learn about the history of mills and their place in the local economy.

See how the Burro crane was a jack of all trades. Look under the hood

and inside the cab to imagine what it was like to be an engineer on

one of the railroad's Baldwin-Westinghouse electric freight locomotives.
