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[1] 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.

[edit] History

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