Where does the track connect to? Is it by the yard with the Virginia Central
steamer in storage? I was in Staunton last summer and didn't even know about
that shortline. (other than all the junk stored at the yard there in Staunton ;^)

The line connects with CSX just east of the yard you refer to. The line then parallels U.S. 11 the better part of the way to Harrisonburg. Here is a link to a map that shows where the line connects...

thanks for the info. We did a tour of the North Mountain
sub during the C&OHS convention last year, but I don't think
they mentioned that shortline at all. That's why I was surprised
to hear about it ;^)
