Phase I commemorative unit #156 SOLO on Train #20 with ten cars crossing the James River. This trestle, part of Southern Ry.'s Lynchburg cut-off project, opened for traffic on March 1, 1911. Passenger service began over it on April 16, 1911, just about 100 years ago to the day this was taken! To see a train on this trestle on April 16, 1911 go to this link

With Northeast Regional trains, Auto Train and long distance service to Florida, New Orleans and Chicago, a lot of train riding and train watching can be had.
