Eastern Railroad Discussion > Trackage at the SAL/C&O station in Richmond, VADate: 11/25/20 19:29 Trackage at the SAL/C&O station in Richmond, VA Author: OCtrainguy I was recently going through some photos from a trip to Richmond, VA in early August of 2019. After catching a CSX grain train at the station, I poked around the parking lot a bit as I saw some old tracks still in the pavement. Here are some views of the tracks and what appears to be an old freight warehouse. One can imagine the activity that would have occurred here. Just don't know which railroad these tracks would've belonged to.
