Eastern Railroad Discussion > CSX Petersburg VA

There is now a universal crossover about 2 miles north of the Petersburg, VA, Amtrak station.  I've seen it referred to as Dunlop as well as
Petersburg.  Can anyone tell us what the official name of it is?   TIA!

I run that line and have never heard it called Dunlop.  And the crossover has been there for about 3 years.

I've heard it called Dunlop, but usually only by old-heads.  Before there was the Petersburg interlocking there, there was an intermediate most people called Colonial Heights, but old-heads called Dunlop.
