Shenandoah Subdivision


The Shenandoah Subdivision is a railroad line owned and operated by CSX Transportation in the U.S. states of West Virginia and Virginia. The line runs from Harpers Ferry, West Virginia southwest to Strasburg, Virginia along a former Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road line. Its northeast end is at a junction with the Cumberland Subdivision; at its southwest end, it intersects the Norfolk Southern Railway's B-Line.

The piece from Harpers Ferry to Winchester opened in 1836 as the Winchester and Potomac Railroad. The Winchester and Strasburg Railroad opened the rest of the line in 1870. The line became part of the B&O and CSX through leases and mergers.
