    Good day, my username is varailfan462. I have lived in Chesapeake, VA, for a few years now, and always have enjoyed the Chesapeake and Albemarle Railroad. Here is some information as well as some pictures

    The line in bold orange is the route the Chesapeake and Albemarle Railroad takes from Norfolk Southern's Portlock Yard where it interchanges, to Edenton, NC. This line isn't he longest, but it is still quite an interesting route with many customers that need switching along the way.

    Here are some shots of the southbound Chesapeake and Albemarle hauling sand and gravel in open 3 bay VULX rock hoppers, and a cement car for Edenton, NC. Credit to Samuel Rockwell for these last three photos.

    Finally, for some live demonstration of how this line works, here is a chase I have put together, and will give you an idea of this railroad's operations!


    If any further information is needed, please don't hesitate to give me a shout!
