Reels 2161-2177, List of Contents","The following is a brief outline of the R.F.\u0026 P.'s\n complex, 157 year history. The Company has been the subject of\n several publications, which should be consulted for more\n in-depths presentations:","Griffin, Jr., William E. \n One Hundred Fifty Years of History,\n Along the Richmond, Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac\n Railroad. Richmond: R.F.\u0026 P., 1984. \n Griffin, Jr., William E. \n Richmond, Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac\n Railroad, The Capital Cities Route. Lynchburg,\n Virginia, 1994. Mordecai, John B. \n A Brief History of the Richmond,\n Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac Railroad. Richmond, 1940. Prince, Richard E. \n The Richmond-Washington Line and\n Related Railroads. Millard, Neb.: Richard E. Prince,\n 1973.","The Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad\n (R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.) was incorporated by an Act of the General\n Assembly of Virginia on 25 February 1834. It was at the time\n the sixth railroad to be chartered in Virginia. The company's\n purpose was to provide rail service from Richmond to the\n Potomac River near Washington, D.C. In 1835 the General\n Assembly authorized the subscription to two fifths of the\n Company stock. The State was proportionally represented with\n two Directors out of five on the Company's Board. Throughout a\n large part of the company's history the State of Virginia\n guarded its interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. by prohibiting other\n railroads to parallel the route of the R.F.\u0026 P. In 1836\n the tracks from Richmond to South Anna were completed, in 1837\n the extension to Fredericksburg. Service for the Post Office\n began in 1838, increasing the line's traffic. In 1842\n construction of the line was finished up to Aquia Creek,\n eliminating the use of a stage coach. From Aquia Creek the\n Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat Co. provided the\n transportation to Washington. The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. bought\n half of the Steamer Co.'s stock in 1845. With the goal of an\n eventual all-rail connection between Richmond and Washington\n in mind, the Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg R.R. Co was\n incorporated in 1851. With the completion of its line to\n Quantico in 1872, a continuous rail connection from NC to\n Baltimore had been established. The Potomac R.R. Co. lines\n were completed the same year and provided connecting service\n between the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the A.\u0026 F. R.R. Co. For\n a few years, the new all-rail line was used alternating with\n the route that included the Potomac Steamboat Co., the\n successor of the Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat\n Co., until in 1877 the R.F.\u0026 P. terminated its steamboat\n contract and turned its shares back over to that Company.","During the Civil War, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. operated\n largely in the service of the Confederate Army. The damage\n inflicted to equipment, tracks, bridges and buildings was\n considerable.","In the mid 1880's the company prospered again. In 1887 the\n Richmond Byrd St. Station was opened to accommodate the\n increased traffic volume of the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. and the\n Richmond and Petersburg R.R. Co. (R.\u0026 P. R.R. Co.). In\n 1888 a timely freight service for fresh fruit and vegetables\n was inaugurated, a business that should grow fast and steadily\n well into the 20th century. The same year authorization for a\n branch line was granted to these two railroad companies, so\n the growing volume of freight could be directed away from the\n city.","The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R., traditionally a short line railroad,\n had always relied on agreements with other railroad lines\n providing service south of Richmond and north of Washington,\n and in 1900, after several smaller lines had been grouped\n together, those railroads were: Seaboard Air Line R.Y. (from\n Portsmouth and southeast), Atlantic Coast Line R.R. (south of\n Richmond) and the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. (from Quantico\n to Washington, controlled by the Pennsylvania R.R. Co.). In\n 1901, Seaboard Air Line R.Y., Atlantic Coast Line R.R., the\n Pennsylvania R.R., the Southern R.Y. Co., the Chesapeake and\n Ohio R.Y. Co., as well as the Baltimore and Ohio R.Y. Co.\n agreed to form the Richmond-Washington Co. That Company\n acquired the entire stock of the Washington Southern R.Y. Co.\n and the majority of R.F.\u0026 P.'s voting stock. The six\n partner would all be treated equally and have the same rights\n in the dealings with the R.F.\u0026 P. The R.F.\u0026 P. and\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under common management at\n his point, and operated jointly as the \"Richmond-Washington\n Line.\" For the next two decades the R.F.\u0026 P. kept\n expanding and modernizing at a rapid pace. The Richmond\n Terminal R.Y. Co. was chartered in 1916 with the purpose of\n constructing and operating a passenger terminal, and in 1919\n Broad St. passenger station (architect: John Russell Pope) was\n completed. R.F.\u0026 P. and Atlantic Coast Line R.R. both\n owned equal amounts of the Richmond Terminal Co.'s shares.","Starting in December 1917, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under Federal Control for 26\n months, and played an important role in the transportation of\n military personnel and equipment.","Three years later, in 1920, the Washington Southern R.Y.\n Co., which had been managed jointly with the R.F.\u0026 P.\n since 1901, was completely merged into the latter. A large\n freight terminal was added to the Acca Freight Yards in 1924,\n tracks were improved and cars and locomotives modernized. The\n growing competition of automobiles on shorter distances\n prompted the R.F.\u0026 P. in 1928 to halt its less and less\n efficient steam train service between Richmond and Ashland and\n to replace it with a passenger bus service. Thus the Suburban\n Motor Coach Co. was incorporated the same year, the R.F.\u0026\n P. R.R. being the main shareholder. Soon passenger bus travel\n was introduced between Washington and various places south of\n Alexandria, and the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. was\n chartered in 1929. It was fully owned by the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.\n and the Suburban Motor Coach Co. merged into the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Transportation Co. in March of the same year. In August 1929,\n the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. and the competing\n Richmond- Washington Motor Coaches (owned by the Greyhound\n Co.) merged to form the Richmond-Greyhound Lines, Inc. Service\n was soon expanded to reach from Washington to Norfolk. During\n the Depression years, the R.F.\u0026 P. struggled with reduced\n passenger and freight service revenues, challenges which the\n company tried to meet by reducing it's passenger fares as well\n as attempting to join the developing market for truck service\n business.","Starting in 1931 the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co.\n experimented with truck freight service between Richmond and\n Washington, but discontinued the operation due to lack of\n profits in 1939.","Traffic of passengers and freight reached a high during\n WWII, and considerable investments were made to modernize\n engines and rail yards. After 1945 passenger travel decreased\n steadily, and Amtrak finally serviced that part of the\n operation in 1970. With the foundation of the Richmond Holding\n Company in 1957 the R.F.\u0026 P. had started to pursue another\n business avenue. Although the R.F.\u0026 P. had always been\n involved in Real Estate deals, and was the sole stockholder of\n the Richmond Land Corp. (inc. 1901), it had done so only for\n the purpose of securing and developing land for the expansion\n of its rail service. Now the Real Estate and Land Development\n Business should become an enterprise in its own right. Other\n important development of the 1960's and 1970's were the\n opening of Bryan Park Terminal (1962), the purchase and\n subsequent development of the Dahlgreen Railroad line and\n adjacent properties (1964), and the move to the new Main\n Office building at Acca Yard (1976). At this point, the\n Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co. was dissolved, and Broad Street\n Station - no longer in usage - was sold to the Commonwealth of\n Virginia. By the early 1980's ownership of the\n Richmond-Washington Co. and with it of the R.F.\u0026 P. had\n changed: now the Commonwealth of Virginia, Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad, Southern Railway, and Chessie System Railroad all\n shared the capital stock. R.F.\u0026 P.'s most important rail\n freight connections at that time were Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad and Conrail. Despite continued modernization and\n collaboration with other carriers, earnings of the real estate\n branch outgrew those of the freight sector by the mid 1980's.\n Those changed realities let to a major company restructuring\n in 1988 with the founding of the R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation, a\n publicly owned, Virginia-based holding company that controlled\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and R.F.\u0026 P. Properties, a real\n estate investment, leasing and development company. Already\n before the reorganization, the CSX Corporation (formed through\n a merger of Chessie System and Seabord Coastline Industries in\n 1980), which owned the majority of the Richmond-Washington\n Co., and thus controlled the R.F.\u0026 P. Co., had been\n interested merging the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. entirely into its\n own enterprise. At this time the Commonwealth of Virginia,\n through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) still held a 20%\n interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. After one failed merger attempt\n in early 1990, CSX and the VRS, which owned about 27 % of\n R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation stock by now, came to the following\n agreement in August of 1991: the VRS, through its subsidiary\n Systems Holdings, acquired 99 percent of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation's shares. It then sold the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. to\n CSX Transportation, which fully merged it into its own railway\n line. This transaction factually ended the 157 year history of\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. The remaining part of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation, the Real Estate business came under the control\n of the VRS, and was subsequently sold to Commonwealth Atlantic\n Properties.","Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg Railway\n Co. Incorporated 1851 as Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg\n Road Co.; taken over by the Pennsylvania R.R. in 1870. Merged\n with the Alexandria \u0026 Washington R.Y. Co. to form the\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. in 1890.","Alexandria \u0026 Washington Railway\n Co. Inc. 1854. Like the Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg R.Y.\n Co., it became a subsidiary of the Pennsylvania R.R. Co.\n Merged with the Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg R.Y. Co. to\n form the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. in 1890.","Fruit Growers Express Co. Inc. 1920 as a successor of Fruit Growers Express;\n shares were owned by several railroads in need of refrigerated\n cars transporting fruit and vegetables from the South to the\n North. R.F.\u0026 P. initially owned 4.5% the shares; it sold\n its 3 % remaining shares in 1982.","Lewis Ginter Land and Improvement\n Co. Inc. Feb. 15, 1901. In 1957 the entire stock was\n purchased by the Richmond Holding Corporation (sole\n stockholder was the R.F.\u0026 P.

In the 1940's the Pullman Company was\n jointly purchased by a group of Railroads, who used its cars.\n In the 1960's the R.F.\u0026 P. is shown to have owned .57% of\n its stock.","R.F.\u0026 P.

The bus line provided service from\n Richmond to Washington. The R.F.\u0026 P.

There are only a few singular\n correspondence files and letter books.","The collection includes records for 21 additional\n companies. Some are wholly owned subsidiaries, others were\n merged into R.F. \u0026 P. R.R., or are predecessor companies\n of those who merged with the R.F.\u0026 P. Yet another group of\n companies was affiliated with the R.F.\u0026 P. through a\n partial ownership of interest. The amount of records for those\n associated companied varies greatly. For some there is only a\n minute book or a few annual reports or security records. For\n others, the holdings are more extensive and a variety of\n record groups is present. The companies that have a larger\n share of records in this collection are the Richmond Land\n Corp., the Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co., and the Washington\n Southern R.Y. Co.","Several items of the collection were in need of\n restoration, which was performed by Etherington Conservation\n Center, either in the in-house lab, or in the North Carolina\n main office. The conservation work necessary consisted mainly\n of repairs of broken, torn and glued pages, damaged bindings,\n the cleaning of moldy volumes, and the preparation custom\n boxes to house fragile volumes, and those without binding.","Business Records\n Collection.","English"],"unitid_tesim":["36460"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac\n Railroad Records, \n \n 1834-1997"],"collection_title_tesim":["Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac\n Railroad Records, \n \n 1834-1997"],"collection_ssim":["Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac\n Railroad Records, \n \n 1834-1997"],"repository_ssm":["Library of Virginia"],"repository_ssim":["Library of Virginia"],"acqinfo_ssim":["This collection came to the Library of Virginia as two\n accessions in 1999 and 2000.

R.R.) was incorporated by an Act of the General\n Assembly of Virginia on 25 February 1834. It was at the time\n the sixth railroad to be chartered in Virginia. The company's\n purpose was to provide rail service from Richmond to the\n Potomac River near Washington, D.C. In 1835 the General\n Assembly authorized the subscription to two fifths of the\n Company stock. The State was proportionally represented with\n two Directors out of five on the Company's Board. Throughout a\n large part of the company's history the State of Virginia\n guarded its interest in the R.F.\u0026amp; P. by prohibiting other\n railroads to parallel the route of the R.F.\u0026amp; P. In 1836\n the tracks from Richmond to South Anna were completed, in 1837\n the extension to Fredericksburg. Service for the Post Office\n began in 1838, increasing the line's traffic. In 1842\n construction of the line was finished up to Aquia Creek,\n eliminating the use of a stage coach. From Aquia Creek the\n Washington \u0026amp; Fredericksburg Steamboat Co. provided the\n transportation to Washington. The R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. bought\n half of the Steamer Co.'s stock in 1845. With the goal of an\n eventual all-rail connection between Richmond and Washington\n in mind, the Alexandria \u0026amp; Fredericksburg R.R. Co was\n incorporated in 1851. With the completion of its line to\n Quantico in 1872, a continuous rail connection from NC to\n Baltimore had been established. The Potomac R.R. Co. lines\n were completed the same year and provided connecting service\n between the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. and the A.\u0026amp; F. R.R. Co. For\n a few years, the new all-rail line was used alternating with\n the route that included the Potomac Steamboat Co., the\n successor of the Washington \u0026amp; Fredericksburg Steamboat\n Co., until in 1877 the R.F.\u0026amp; P. terminated its steamboat\n contract and turned its shares back over to that Company.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eDuring the Civil War, the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. operated\n largely in the service of the Confederate Army. The damage\n inflicted to equipment, tracks, bridges and buildings was\n considerable.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIn the mid 1880's the company prospered again. In 1887 the\n Richmond Byrd St. Station was opened to accommodate the\n increased traffic volume of the R.F.\u0026amp; P.R.R. Co. and the\n Richmond and Petersburg R.R. Co. (R.\u0026amp; P. R.R. Co.). In\n 1888 a timely freight service for fresh fruit and vegetables\n was inaugurated, a business that should grow fast and steadily\n well into the 20th century. The same year authorization for a\n branch line was granted to these two railroad companies, so\n the growing volume of freight could be directed away from the\n city.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R., traditionally a short line railroad,\n had always relied on agreements with other railroad lines\n providing service south of Richmond and north of Washington,\n and in 1900, after several smaller lines had been grouped\n together, those railroads were: Seaboard Air Line R.Y. (from\n Portsmouth and southeast), Atlantic Coast Line R.R. (south of\n Richmond) and the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. (from Quantico\n to Washington, controlled by the Pennsylvania R.R. Co.). In\n 1901, Seaboard Air Line R.Y., Atlantic Coast Line R.R., the\n Pennsylvania R.R., the Southern R.Y. Co., the Chesapeake and\n Ohio R.Y. Co., as well as the Baltimore and Ohio R.Y. Co.\n agreed to form the Richmond-Washington Co. That Company\n acquired the entire stock of the Washington Southern R.Y. Co.\n and the majority of R.F.\u0026amp; P.'s voting stock. The six\n partner would all be treated equally and have the same rights\n in the dealings with the R.F.\u0026amp; P. The R.F.\u0026amp; P. and\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under common management at\n his point, and operated jointly as the \"Richmond-Washington\n Line.\" For the next two decades the R.F.\u0026amp; P. kept\n expanding and modernizing at a rapid pace. The Richmond\n Terminal R.Y. Co. was chartered in 1916 with the purpose of\n constructing and operating a passenger terminal, and in 1919\n Broad St. passenger station (architect: John Russell Pope) was\n completed. R.F.\u0026amp; P. and Atlantic Coast Line R.R. both\n owned equal amounts of the Richmond Terminal Co.'s shares.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eStarting in December 1917, the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. and the\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under Federal Control for 26\n months, and played an important role in the transportation of\n military personnel and equipment.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThree years later, in 1920, the Washington Southern R.Y.\n Co., which had been managed jointly with the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n since 1901, was completely merged into the latter. A large\n freight terminal was added to the Acca Freight Yards in 1924,\n tracks were improved and cars and locomotives modernized. The\n growing competition of automobiles on shorter distances\n prompted the R.F.\u0026amp; P. in 1928 to halt its less and less\n efficient steam train service between Richmond and Ashland and\n to replace it with a passenger bus service. Thus the Suburban\n Motor Coach Co. was incorporated the same year, the R.F.\u0026amp;\n P. R.R. being the main shareholder. Soon passenger bus travel\n was introduced between Washington and various places south of\n Alexandria, and the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Transportation Co. was\n chartered in 1929. It was fully owned by the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R.\n and the Suburban Motor Coach Co. merged into the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n Transportation Co. in March of the same year. In August 1929,\n the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Transportation Co. and the competing\n Richmond- Washington Motor Coaches (owned by the Greyhound\n Co.) merged to form the Richmond-Greyhound Lines, Inc. Service\n was soon expanded to reach from Washington to Norfolk. During\n the Depression years, the R.F.\u0026amp; P. struggled with reduced\n passenger and freight service revenues, challenges which the\n company tried to meet by reducing it's passenger fares as well\n as attempting to join the developing market for truck service\n business.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eStarting in 1931 the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Transportation Co.\n experimented with truck freight service between Richmond and\n Washington, but discontinued the operation due to lack of\n profits in 1939.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eTraffic of passengers and freight reached a high during\n WWII, and considerable investments were made to modernize\n engines and rail yards. After 1945 passenger travel decreased\n steadily, and Amtrak finally serviced that part of the\n operation in 1970. With the foundation of the Richmond Holding\n Company in 1957 the R.F.\u0026amp; P. had started to pursue another\n business avenue. Although the R.F.\u0026amp; P. had always been\n involved in Real Estate deals, and was the sole stockholder of\n the Richmond Land Corp. (inc. 1901), it had done so only for\n the purpose of securing and developing land for the expansion\n of its rail service. Now the Real Estate and Land Development\n Business should become an enterprise in its own right. Other\n important development of the 1960's and 1970's were the\n opening of Bryan Park Terminal (1962), the purchase and\n subsequent development of the Dahlgreen Railroad line and\n adjacent properties (1964), and the move to the new Main\n Office building at Acca Yard (1976). At this point, the\n Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co. was dissolved, and Broad Street\n Station - no longer in usage - was sold to the Commonwealth of\n Virginia. By the early 1980's ownership of the\n Richmond-Washington Co. and with it of the R.F.\u0026amp; P. had\n changed: now the Commonwealth of Virginia, Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad, Southern Railway, and Chessie System Railroad all\n shared the capital stock. R.F.\u0026amp; P.'s most important rail\n freight connections at that time were Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad and Conrail. Despite continued modernization and\n collaboration with other carriers, earnings of the real estate\n branch outgrew those of the freight sector by the mid 1980's.\n Those changed realities let to a major company restructuring\n in 1988 with the founding of the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Corporation, a\n publicly owned, Virginia-based holding company that controlled\n the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. and R.F.\u0026amp; P. Properties, a real\n estate investment, leasing and development company. Already\n before the reorganization, the CSX Corporation (formed through\n a merger of Chessie System and Seabord Coastline Industries in\n 1980), which owned the majority of the Richmond-Washington\n Co., and thus controlled the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Co., had been\n interested merging the R.F.\u0026amp; P.R.R. Co. entirely into its\n own enterprise. At this time the Commonwealth of Virginia,\n through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) still held a 20%\n interest in the R.F.\u0026amp; P. After one failed merger attempt\n in early 1990, CSX and the VRS, which owned about 27 % of\n R.F.\u0026amp; P. Corporation stock by now, came to the following\n agreement in August of 1991: the VRS, through its subsidiary\n Systems Holdings, acquired 99 percent of the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n Corporation's shares. It then sold the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. to\n CSX Transportation, which fully merged it into its own railway\n line. This transaction factually ended the 157 year history of\n the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. The remaining part of the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n Corporation, the Real Estate business came under the control\n of the VRS, and was subsequently sold to Commonwealth Atlantic\n Properties.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e\u003cemph render=\"bold\"\u003eAlexandria \u0026amp; Fredericksburg Railway\n Co.\u003c/emph\u003e\u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eIncorporated 1851 as Alexandria \u0026amp; Fredericksburg\n Road Co.; taken over by the Pennsylvania R.R. in 1870.

The Company has been the subject of\n several publications, which should be consulted for more\n in-depths presentations:","Griffin, Jr., William E. \n One Hundred Fifty Years of History,\n Along the Richmond, Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac\n Railroad.

Millard, Neb.: Richard E. Prince,\n 1973.","The Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad\n (R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.) was incorporated by an Act of the General\n Assembly of Virginia on 25 February 1834. It was at the time\n the sixth railroad to be chartered in Virginia. The company's\n purpose was to provide rail service from Richmond to the\n Potomac River near Washington, D.C. In 1835 the General\n Assembly authorized the subscription to two fifths of the\n Company stock. The State was proportionally represented with\n two Directors out of five on the Company's Board. Throughout a\n large part of the company's history the State of Virginia\n guarded its interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. by prohibiting other\n railroads to parallel the route of the R.F.\u0026 P. In 1836\n the tracks from Richmond to South Anna were completed, in 1837\n the extension to Fredericksburg. Service for the Post Office\n began in 1838, increasing the line's traffic. In 1842\n construction of the line was finished up to Aquia Creek,\n eliminating the use of a stage coach. From Aquia Creek the\n Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat Co. provided the\n transportation to Washington. The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. bought\n half of the Steamer Co.'s stock in 1845. With the goal of an\n eventual all-rail connection between Richmond and Washington\n in mind, the Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg R.R. Co was\n incorporated in 1851. With the completion of its line to\n Quantico in 1872, a continuous rail connection from NC to\n Baltimore had been established. The Potomac R.R. Co. lines\n were completed the same year and provided connecting service\n between the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the A.\u0026 F. R.R. Co. For\n a few years, the new all-rail line was used alternating with\n the route that included the Potomac Steamboat Co., the\n successor of the Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat\n Co., until in 1877 the R.F.\u0026 P. terminated its steamboat\n contract and turned its shares back over to that Company.","During the Civil War, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. operated\n largely in the service of the Confederate Army. The damage\n inflicted to equipment, tracks, bridges and buildings was\n considerable.","In the mid 1880's the company prospered again. In 1887 the\n Richmond Byrd St. Station was opened to accommodate the\n increased traffic volume of the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. and the\n Richmond and Petersburg R.R. Co. (R.\u0026 P. R.R. Co.). In\n 1888 a timely freight service for fresh fruit and vegetables\n was inaugurated, a business that should grow fast and steadily\n well into the 20th century. The same year authorization for a\n branch line was granted to these two railroad companies, so\n the growing volume of freight could be directed away from the\n city.","The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R., traditionally a short line railroad,\n had always relied on agreements with other railroad lines\n providing service south of Richmond and north of Washington,\n and in 1900, after several smaller lines had been grouped\n together, those railroads were: Seaboard Air Line R.Y. (from\n Portsmouth and southeast), Atlantic Coast Line R.R. (south of\n Richmond) and the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. (from Quantico\n to Washington, controlled by the Pennsylvania R.R. Co.). In\n 1901, Seaboard Air Line R.Y., Atlantic Coast Line R.R., the\n Pennsylvania R.R., the Southern R.Y. Co., the Chesapeake and\n Ohio R.Y. Co., as well as the Baltimore and Ohio R.Y. Co.\n agreed to form the Richmond-Washington Co. That Company\n acquired the entire stock of the Washington Southern R.Y. Co.\n and the majority of R.F.\u0026 P.'s voting stock. The six\n partner would all be treated equally and have the same rights\n in the dealings with the R.F.\u0026 P. The R.F.\u0026 P. and\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under common management at\n his point, and operated jointly as the \"Richmond-Washington\n Line.\" For the next two decades the R.F.\u0026 P. kept\n expanding and modernizing at a rapid pace. The Richmond\n Terminal R.Y. Co. was chartered in 1916 with the purpose of\n constructing and operating a passenger terminal, and in 1919\n Broad St. passenger station (architect: John Russell Pope) was\n completed. R.F.\u0026 P. and Atlantic Coast Line R.R. both\n owned equal amounts of the Richmond Terminal Co.'s shares.","Starting in December 1917, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under Federal Control for 26\n months, and played an important role in the transportation of\n military personnel and equipment.","Three years later, in 1920, the Washington Southern R.Y.\n Co., which had been managed jointly with the R.F.\u0026 P.\n since 1901, was completely merged into the latter. A large\n freight terminal was added to the Acca Freight Yards in 1924,\n tracks were improved and cars and locomotives modernized. The\n growing competition of automobiles on shorter distances\n prompted the R.F.\u0026 P. in 1928 to halt its less and less\n efficient steam train service between Richmond and Ashland and\n to replace it with a passenger bus service. Thus the Suburban\n Motor Coach Co. was incorporated the same year, the R.F.\u0026\n P. R.R. being the main shareholder. Soon passenger bus travel\n was introduced between Washington and various places south of\n Alexandria, and the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. was\n chartered in 1929. It was fully owned by the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.\n and the Suburban Motor Coach Co. merged into the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Transportation Co. in March of the same year. In August 1929,\n the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. and the competing\n Richmond- Washington Motor Coaches (owned by the Greyhound\n Co.) merged to form the Richmond-Greyhound Lines, Inc. Service\n was soon expanded to reach from Washington to Norfolk. During\n the Depression years, the R.F.\u0026 P. struggled with reduced\n passenger and freight service revenues, challenges which the\n company tried to meet by reducing it's passenger fares as well\n as attempting to join the developing market for truck service\n business.","Starting in 1931 the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co.\n experimented with truck freight service between Richmond and\n Washington, but discontinued the operation due to lack of\n profits in 1939.","Traffic of passengers and freight reached a high during\n WWII, and considerable investments were made to modernize\n engines and rail yards. After 1945 passenger travel decreased\n steadily, and Amtrak finally serviced that part of the\n operation in 1970. With the foundation of the Richmond Holding\n Company in 1957 the R.F.\u0026 P. had started to pursue another\n business avenue. Although the R.F.\u0026 P. had always been\n involved in Real Estate deals, and was the sole stockholder of\n the Richmond Land Corp. (inc. 1901), it had done so only for\n the purpose of securing and developing land for the expansion\n of its rail service. Now the Real Estate and Land Development\n Business should become an enterprise in its own right. Other\n important development of the 1960's and 1970's were the\n opening of Bryan Park Terminal (1962), the purchase and\n subsequent development of the Dahlgreen Railroad line and\n adjacent properties (1964), and the move to the new Main\n Office building at Acca Yard (1976). At this point, the\n Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co. was dissolved, and Broad Street\n Station - no longer in usage - was sold to the Commonwealth of\n Virginia. By the early 1980's ownership of the\n Richmond-Washington Co. and with it of the R.F.\u0026 P. had\n changed: now the Commonwealth of Virginia, Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad, Southern Railway, and Chessie System Railroad all\n shared the capital stock. R.F.\u0026 P.'s most important rail\n freight connections at that time were Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad and Conrail. Despite continued modernization and\n collaboration with other carriers, earnings of the real estate\n branch outgrew those of the freight sector by the mid 1980's.\n Those changed realities let to a major company restructuring\n in 1988 with the founding of the R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation, a\n publicly owned, Virginia-based holding company that controlled\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and R.F.\u0026 P. Properties, a real\n estate investment, leasing and development company. Already\n before the reorganization, the CSX Corporation (formed through\n a merger of Chessie System and Seabord Coastline Industries in\n 1980), which owned the majority of the Richmond-Washington\n Co., and thus controlled the R.F.\u0026 P. Co., had been\n interested merging the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. entirely into its\n own enterprise. At this time the Commonwealth of Virginia,\n through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) still held a 20%\n interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. After one failed merger attempt\n in early 1990, CSX and the VRS, which owned about 27 % of\n R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation stock by now, came to the following\n agreement in August of 1991: the VRS, through its subsidiary\n Systems Holdings, acquired 99 percent of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation's shares. It then sold the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. to\n CSX Transportation, which fully merged it into its own railway\n line. This transaction factually ended the 157 year history of\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. The remaining part of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation, the Real Estate business came under the control\n of the VRS, and was subsequently sold to Commonwealth Atlantic\n Properties.","Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg Railway\n Co. Incorporated 1851 as Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg\n Road Co.; taken over by the Pennsylvania R.R. in 1870. Merged\n with the Alexandria \u0026 Washington R.Y.

Reels 2161-2177, List of Contents","The following is a brief outline of the R.F.\u0026 P.'s\n complex, 157 year history. The Company has been the subject of\n several publications, which should be consulted for more\n in-depths presentations:","Griffin, Jr., William E. \n One Hundred Fifty Years of History,\n Along the Richmond, Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac\n Railroad. Richmond: R.F.\u0026 P., 1984. \n Griffin, Jr., William E. \n Richmond, Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac\n Railroad, The Capital Cities Route. Lynchburg,\n Virginia, 1994. Mordecai, John B. \n A Brief History of the Richmond,\n Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac Railroad. Richmond, 1940. Prince, Richard E. \n The Richmond-Washington Line and\n Related Railroads. Millard, Neb.: Richard E. Prince,\n 1973.","The Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad\n (R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.) was incorporated by an Act of the General\n Assembly of Virginia on 25 February 1834. It was at the time\n the sixth railroad to be chartered in Virginia. The company's\n purpose was to provide rail service from Richmond to the\n Potomac River near Washington, D.C. In 1835 the General\n Assembly authorized the subscription to two fifths of the\n Company stock. The State was proportionally represented with\n two Directors out of five on the Company's Board. Throughout a\n large part of the company's history the State of Virginia\n guarded its interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. by prohibiting other\n railroads to parallel the route of the R.F.\u0026 P. In 1836\n the tracks from Richmond to South Anna were completed, in 1837\n the extension to Fredericksburg. Service for the Post Office\n began in 1838, increasing the line's traffic. In 1842\n construction of the line was finished up to Aquia Creek,\n eliminating the use of a stage coach. From Aquia Creek the\n Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat Co. provided the\n transportation to Washington. The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. bought\n half of the Steamer Co.'s stock in 1845. With the goal of an\n eventual all-rail connection between Richmond and Washington\n in mind, the Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg R.R. Co was\n incorporated in 1851. With the completion of its line to\n Quantico in 1872, a continuous rail connection from NC to\n Baltimore had been established. The Potomac R.R. Co. lines\n were completed the same year and provided connecting service\n between the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the A.\u0026 F. R.R. Co. For\n a few years, the new all-rail line was used alternating with\n the route that included the Potomac Steamboat Co., the\n successor of the Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat\n Co., until in 1877 the R.F.\u0026 P. terminated its steamboat\n contract and turned its shares back over to that Company.","During the Civil War, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. operated\n largely in the service of the Confederate Army. The damage\n inflicted to equipment, tracks, bridges and buildings was\n considerable.","In the mid 1880's the company prospered again. In 1887 the\n Richmond Byrd St. Station was opened to accommodate the\n increased traffic volume of the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. and the\n Richmond and Petersburg R.R. Co. (R.\u0026 P. R.R. Co.). In\n 1888 a timely freight service for fresh fruit and vegetables\n was inaugurated, a business that should grow fast and steadily\n well into the 20th century. The same year authorization for a\n branch line was granted to these two railroad companies, so\n the growing volume of freight could be directed away from the\n city.","The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R., traditionally a short line railroad,\n had always relied on agreements with other railroad lines\n providing service south of Richmond and north of Washington,\n and in 1900, after several smaller lines had been grouped\n together, those railroads were: Seaboard Air Line R.Y. (from\n Portsmouth and southeast), Atlantic Coast Line R.R. (south of\n Richmond) and the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. (from Quantico\n to Washington, controlled by the Pennsylvania R.R. Co.). In\n 1901, Seaboard Air Line R.Y., Atlantic Coast Line R.R., the\n Pennsylvania R.R., the Southern R.Y. Co., the Chesapeake and\n Ohio R.Y. Co., as well as the Baltimore and Ohio R.Y. Co.\n agreed to form the Richmond-Washington Co. That Company\n acquired the entire stock of the Washington Southern R.Y. Co.\n and the majority of R.F.\u0026 P.'s voting stock. The six\n partner would all be treated equally and have the same rights\n in the dealings with the R.F.\u0026 P. The R.F.\u0026 P. and\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under common management at\n his point, and operated jointly as the \"Richmond-Washington\n Line.\" For the next two decades the R.F.\u0026 P. kept\n expanding and modernizing at a rapid pace. The Richmond\n Terminal R.Y. Co. was chartered in 1916 with the purpose of\n constructing and operating a passenger terminal, and in 1919\n Broad St. passenger station (architect: John Russell Pope) was\n completed. R.F.\u0026 P. and Atlantic Coast Line R.R. both\n owned equal amounts of the Richmond Terminal Co.'s shares.","Starting in December 1917, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under Federal Control for 26\n months, and played an important role in the transportation of\n military personnel and equipment.","Three years later, in 1920, the Washington Southern R.Y.\n Co., which had been managed jointly with the R.F.\u0026 P.\n since 1901, was completely merged into the latter. A large\n freight terminal was added to the Acca Freight Yards in 1924,\n tracks were improved and cars and locomotives modernized. The\n growing competition of automobiles on shorter distances\n prompted the R.F.\u0026 P. in 1928 to halt its less and less\n efficient steam train service between Richmond and Ashland and\n to replace it with a passenger bus service. Thus the Suburban\n Motor Coach Co. was incorporated the same year, the R.F.\u0026\n P. R.R. being the main shareholder. Soon passenger bus travel\n was introduced between Washington and various places south of\n Alexandria, and the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. was\n chartered in 1929. It was fully owned by the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.\n and the Suburban Motor Coach Co. merged into the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Transportation Co. in March of the same year. In August 1929,\n the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. and the competing\n Richmond- Washington Motor Coaches (owned by the Greyhound\n Co.) merged to form the Richmond-Greyhound Lines, Inc. Service\n was soon expanded to reach from Washington to Norfolk. During\n the Depression years, the R.F.\u0026 P. struggled with reduced\n passenger and freight service revenues, challenges which the\n company tried to meet by reducing it's passenger fares as well\n as attempting to join the developing market for truck service\n business.","Starting in 1931 the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co.\n experimented with truck freight service between Richmond and\n Washington, but discontinued the operation due to lack of\n profits in 1939.","Traffic of passengers and freight reached a high during\n WWII, and considerable investments were made to modernize\n engines and rail yards. After 1945 passenger travel decreased\n steadily, and Amtrak finally serviced that part of the\n operation in 1970. With the foundation of the Richmond Holding\n Company in 1957 the R.F.\u0026 P. had started to pursue another\n business avenue. Although the R.F.\u0026 P. had always been\n involved in Real Estate deals, and was the sole stockholder of\n the Richmond Land Corp. (inc. 1901), it had done so only for\n the purpose of securing and developing land for the expansion\n of its rail service. Now the Real Estate and Land Development\n Business should become an enterprise in its own right. Other\n important development of the 1960's and 1970's were the\n opening of Bryan Park Terminal (1962), the purchase and\n subsequent development of the Dahlgreen Railroad line and\n adjacent properties (1964), and the move to the new Main\n Office building at Acca Yard (1976). At this point, the\n Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co. was dissolved, and Broad Street\n Station - no longer in usage - was sold to the Commonwealth of\n Virginia. By the early 1980's ownership of the\n Richmond-Washington Co. and with it of the R.F.\u0026 P. had\n changed: now the Commonwealth of Virginia, Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad, Southern Railway, and Chessie System Railroad all\n shared the capital stock. R.F.\u0026 P.'s most important rail\n freight connections at that time were Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad and Conrail. Despite continued modernization and\n collaboration with other carriers, earnings of the real estate\n branch outgrew those of the freight sector by the mid 1980's.\n Those changed realities let to a major company restructuring\n in 1988 with the founding of the R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation, a\n publicly owned, Virginia-based holding company that controlled\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and R.F.\u0026 P. Properties, a real\n estate investment, leasing and development company. Already\n before the reorganization, the CSX Corporation (formed through\n a merger of Chessie System and Seabord Coastline Industries in\n 1980), which owned the majority of the Richmond-Washington\n Co., and thus controlled the R.F.\u0026 P. Co., had been\n interested merging the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. entirely into its\n own enterprise. At this time the Commonwealth of Virginia,\n through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) still held a 20%\n interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. After one failed merger attempt\n in early 1990, CSX and the VRS, which owned about 27 % of\n R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation stock by now, came to the following\n agreement in August of 1991: the VRS, through its subsidiary\n Systems Holdings, acquired 99 percent of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation's shares. It then sold the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. to\n CSX Transportation, which fully merged it into its own railway\n line. This transaction factually ended the 157 year history of\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. The remaining part of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation, the Real Estate business came under the control\n of the VRS, and was subsequently sold to Commonwealth Atlantic\n Properties.","Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg Railway\n Co. Incorporated 1851 as Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg\n Road Co.; taken over by the Pennsylvania R.R. in 1870. Merged\n with the Alexandria \u0026 Washington R.Y.

Inc. 1920 as a successor of Fruit Growers Express;\n shares were owned by several railroads in need of refrigerated\n cars transporting fruit and vegetables from the South to the\n North. R.F.\u0026 P. initially owned 4.5% the shares; it sold\n its 3 % remaining shares in 1982.","Lewis Ginter Land and Improvement\n Co. Inc. Feb. 15, 1901. In 1957 the entire stock was\n purchased by the Richmond Holding Corporation (sole\n stockholder was the R.F.\u0026 P.

R.R., it was fully\n absorbed into the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. in 1920.","The records of the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R., 1834-1997, are\n organized into 31 series. Series I-X relate to record groups\n of the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. itself, series XI-XXXI describe the\n records of R.F.\u0026 P. subsidiaries, both fully or partially\n owned, and of companies, of which the R.F.\u0026 P. owned a\n smaller interest at some point during its 157 year history, or\n with which it was otherwise affiliated. These include:\n Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg R.Y. Co., Alexandria \u0026\n Washington R.Y. Co., Fruit Growers Express Co., Lewis Ginter\n Land and Improvement Co., Potomac R.R. Co., Potomac Steamboat\n Co., The Pullman Co., R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co.,\n Richmond-Greyhound Lines, Richmond Holding Corporation,\n Richmond Land Corporation, Richmond Terminal R.Y.

Co., South Washington Land Corporation,\n Suburban Motor Coach Co., Trailer Train Co., Union Terminal\n Corporation, Washington and Fredericksburg Steamboat Co.,\n Virginia and Carolina R.R. Co., and the Washington Southern\n R.Y. Co. Also included are some records for the\n Richmond-Washington Co., which at times held the majority of\n R.F.\u0026 P. voting stock. In some cases information for\n subsidiary companies can be found as integral part of the\n R.F.\u0026 P. files.","The main record types found in this collection are minute\n books and minute files (the complete run of R.F.\u0026 P.\n Minute books, from 1834-1981 is especially noteworthy); legal\n files, like charters, bylaws, agreements, cases, contracts and\n deeds, and real estate files; as well as a substantial amount\n of financial files, like annual reports, audits, balances,\n check registers, daybooks, journals, ledgers, property\n records, security records, and tax records. To a lesser extent\n records of operating, transportation, and technical\n departments, some newsletters and corporate histories, as well\n as photographs are included. There are only a few singular\n correspondence files and letter books.","The collection includes records for 21 additional\n companies. Some are wholly owned subsidiaries, others were\n merged into R.F. \u0026 P. R.R., or are predecessor companies\n of those who merged with the R.F.\u0026 P. Yet another group of\n companies was affiliated with the R.F.\u0026 P. through a\n partial ownership of interest. The amount of records for those\n associated companied varies greatly. For some there is only a\n minute book or a few annual reports or security records. For\n others, the holdings are more extensive and a variety of\n record groups is present. The companies that have a larger\n share of records in this collection are the Richmond Land\n Corp., the Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co., and the Washington\n Southern R.Y. Co.","Several items of the collection were in need of\n restoration, which was performed by Etherington Conservation\n Center, either in the in-house lab, or in the North Carolina\n main office. The conservation work necessary consisted mainly\n of repairs of broken, torn and glued pages, damaged bindings,\n the cleaning of moldy volumes, and the preparation custom\n boxes to house fragile volumes, and those without binding.","Business Records\n Collection.","English"],"unitid_tesim":["36460"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac\n Railroad Records, \n \n 1834-1997"],"collection_title_tesim":["Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac\n Railroad Records, \n \n 1834-1997"],"collection_ssim":["Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac\n Railroad Records, \n \n 1834-1997"],"repository_ssm":["Library of Virginia"],"repository_ssim":["Library of Virginia"],"acqinfo_ssim":["This collection came to the Library of Virginia as two\n accessions in 1999 and 2000.

The company's\n purpose was to provide rail service from Richmond to the\n Potomac River near Washington, D.C. In 1835 the General\n Assembly authorized the subscription to two fifths of the\n Company stock. The State was proportionally represented with\n two Directors out of five on the Company's Board. Throughout a\n large part of the company's history the State of Virginia\n guarded its interest in the R.F.\u0026amp; P. by prohibiting other\n railroads to parallel the route of the R.F.\u0026amp; P. In 1836\n the tracks from Richmond to South Anna were completed, in 1837\n the extension to Fredericksburg. Service for the Post Office\n began in 1838, increasing the line's traffic. In 1842\n construction of the line was finished up to Aquia Creek,\n eliminating the use of a stage coach. From Aquia Creek the\n Washington \u0026amp; Fredericksburg Steamboat Co. provided the\n transportation to Washington. The R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. bought\n half of the Steamer Co.'s stock in 1845. With the goal of an\n eventual all-rail connection between Richmond and Washington\n in mind, the Alexandria \u0026amp; Fredericksburg R.R. Co was\n incorporated in 1851. With the completion of its line to\n Quantico in 1872, a continuous rail connection from NC to\n Baltimore had been established. The Potomac R.R. Co. lines\n were completed the same year and provided connecting service\n between the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. and the A.\u0026amp; F. R.R. Co. For\n a few years, the new all-rail line was used alternating with\n the route that included the Potomac Steamboat Co., the\n successor of the Washington \u0026amp; Fredericksburg Steamboat\n Co., until in 1877 the R.F.\u0026amp; P. terminated its steamboat\n contract and turned its shares back over to that Company.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eDuring the Civil War, the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. operated\n largely in the service of the Confederate Army. The damage\n inflicted to equipment, tracks, bridges and buildings was\n considerable.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIn the mid 1880's the company prospered again. In 1887 the\n Richmond Byrd St. Station was opened to accommodate the\n increased traffic volume of the R.F.\u0026amp; P.R.R. Co. and the\n Richmond and Petersburg R.R. Co. (R.\u0026amp; P. R.R. Co.). In\n 1888 a timely freight service for fresh fruit and vegetables\n was inaugurated, a business that should grow fast and steadily\n well into the 20th century. The same year authorization for a\n branch line was granted to these two railroad companies, so\n the growing volume of freight could be directed away from the\n city.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R., traditionally a short line railroad,\n had always relied on agreements with other railroad lines\n providing service south of Richmond and north of Washington,\n and in 1900, after several smaller lines had been grouped\n together, those railroads were: Seaboard Air Line R.Y. (from\n Portsmouth and southeast), Atlantic Coast Line R.R. (south of\n Richmond) and the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. (from Quantico\n to Washington, controlled by the Pennsylvania R.R. Co.). In\n 1901, Seaboard Air Line R.Y., Atlantic Coast Line R.R., the\n Pennsylvania R.R., the Southern R.Y. Co., the Chesapeake and\n Ohio R.Y. Co., as well as the Baltimore and Ohio R.Y. Co.\n agreed to form the Richmond-Washington Co. That Company\n acquired the entire stock of the Washington Southern R.Y. Co.\n and the majority of R.F.\u0026amp; P.'s voting stock. The six\n partner would all be treated equally and have the same rights\n in the dealings with the R.F.\u0026amp; P. The R.F.\u0026amp; P. and\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under common management at\n his point, and operated jointly as the \"Richmond-Washington\n Line.\" For the next two decades the R.F.\u0026amp; P. kept\n expanding and modernizing at a rapid pace. The Richmond\n Terminal R.Y. Co. was chartered in 1916 with the purpose of\n constructing and operating a passenger terminal, and in 1919\n Broad St. passenger station (architect: John Russell Pope) was\n completed. R.F.\u0026amp; P. and Atlantic Coast Line R.R. both\n owned equal amounts of the Richmond Terminal Co.'s shares.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eStarting in December 1917, the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. and the\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under Federal Control for 26\n months, and played an important role in the transportation of\n military personnel and equipment.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThree years later, in 1920, the Washington Southern R.Y.\n Co., which had been managed jointly with the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n since 1901, was completely merged into the latter. A large\n freight terminal was added to the Acca Freight Yards in 1924,\n tracks were improved and cars and locomotives modernized. The\n growing competition of automobiles on shorter distances\n prompted the R.F.\u0026amp; P. in 1928 to halt its less and less\n efficient steam train service between Richmond and Ashland and\n to replace it with a passenger bus service. Thus the Suburban\n Motor Coach Co. was incorporated the same year, the R.F.\u0026amp;\n P. R.R. being the main shareholder. Soon passenger bus travel\n was introduced between Washington and various places south of\n Alexandria, and the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Transportation Co. was\n chartered in 1929. It was fully owned by the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R.\n and the Suburban Motor Coach Co. merged into the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n Transportation Co. in March of the same year. In August 1929,\n the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Transportation Co. and the competing\n Richmond- Washington Motor Coaches (owned by the Greyhound\n Co.) merged to form the Richmond-Greyhound Lines, Inc. Service\n was soon expanded to reach from Washington to Norfolk. During\n the Depression years, the R.F.\u0026amp; P. struggled with reduced\n passenger and freight service revenues, challenges which the\n company tried to meet by reducing it's passenger fares as well\n as attempting to join the developing market for truck service\n business.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eStarting in 1931 the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Transportation Co.\n experimented with truck freight service between Richmond and\n Washington, but discontinued the operation due to lack of\n profits in 1939.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eTraffic of passengers and freight reached a high during\n WWII, and considerable investments were made to modernize\n engines and rail yards. After 1945 passenger travel decreased\n steadily, and Amtrak finally serviced that part of the\n operation in 1970. With the foundation of the Richmond Holding\n Company in 1957 the R.F.\u0026amp; P. had started to pursue another\n business avenue. Although the R.F.\u0026amp; P. had always been\n involved in Real Estate deals, and was the sole stockholder of\n the Richmond Land Corp. (inc. 1901), it had done so only for\n the purpose of securing and developing land for the expansion\n of its rail service. Now the Real Estate and Land Development\n Business should become an enterprise in its own right. Other\n important development of the 1960's and 1970's were the\n opening of Bryan Park Terminal (1962), the purchase and\n subsequent development of the Dahlgreen Railroad line and\n adjacent properties (1964), and the move to the new Main\n Office building at Acca Yard (1976). At this point, the\n Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co. was dissolved, and Broad Street\n Station - no longer in usage - was sold to the Commonwealth of\n Virginia. By the early 1980's ownership of the\n Richmond-Washington Co. and with it of the R.F.\u0026amp; P. had\n changed: now the Commonwealth of Virginia, Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad, Southern Railway, and Chessie System Railroad all\n shared the capital stock. R.F.\u0026amp; P.'s most important rail\n freight connections at that time were Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad and Conrail. Despite continued modernization and\n collaboration with other carriers, earnings of the real estate\n branch outgrew those of the freight sector by the mid 1980's.\n Those changed realities let to a major company restructuring\n in 1988 with the founding of the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Corporation, a\n publicly owned, Virginia-based holding company that controlled\n the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. and R.F.\u0026amp; P. Properties, a real\n estate investment, leasing and development company. Already\n before the reorganization, the CSX Corporation (formed through\n a merger of Chessie System and Seabord Coastline Industries in\n 1980), which owned the majority of the Richmond-Washington\n Co., and thus controlled the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Co., had been\n interested merging the R.F.\u0026amp; P.R.R. Co. entirely into its\n own enterprise. At this time the Commonwealth of Virginia,\n through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) still held a 20%\n interest in the R.F.\u0026amp; P. After one failed merger attempt\n in early 1990, CSX and the VRS, which owned about 27 % of\n R.F.\u0026amp; P. Corporation stock by now, came to the following\n agreement in August of 1991: the VRS, through its subsidiary\n Systems Holdings, acquired 99 percent of the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n Corporation's shares. It then sold the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. to\n CSX Transportation, which fully merged it into its own railway\n line. This transaction factually ended the 157 year history of\n the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. The remaining part of the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n Corporation, the Real Estate business came under the control\n of the VRS, and was subsequently sold to Commonwealth Atlantic\n Properties.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e\u003cemph render=\"bold\"\u003eAlexandria \u0026amp; Fredericksburg Railway\n Co.\u003c/emph\u003e\u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eIncorporated 1851 as Alexandria \u0026amp; Fredericksburg\n Road Co.; taken over by the Pennsylvania R.R. in 1870.

Millard, Neb.: Richard E. Prince,\n 1973.","The Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad\n (R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.) was incorporated by an Act of the General\n Assembly of Virginia on 25 February 1834. It was at the time\n the sixth railroad to be chartered in Virginia. The company's\n purpose was to provide rail service from Richmond to the\n Potomac River near Washington, D.C. In 1835 the General\n Assembly authorized the subscription to two fifths of the\n Company stock. The State was proportionally represented with\n two Directors out of five on the Company's Board. Throughout a\n large part of the company's history the State of Virginia\n guarded its interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. by prohibiting other\n railroads to parallel the route of the R.F.\u0026 P. In 1836\n the tracks from Richmond to South Anna were completed, in 1837\n the extension to Fredericksburg. Service for the Post Office\n began in 1838, increasing the line's traffic. In 1842\n construction of the line was finished up to Aquia Creek,\n eliminating the use of a stage coach. From Aquia Creek the\n Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat Co. provided the\n transportation to Washington. The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. bought\n half of the Steamer Co.'s stock in 1845. With the goal of an\n eventual all-rail connection between Richmond and Washington\n in mind, the Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg R.R. Co was\n incorporated in 1851. With the completion of its line to\n Quantico in 1872, a continuous rail connection from NC to\n Baltimore had been established. The Potomac R.R. Co. lines\n were completed the same year and provided connecting service\n between the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the A.\u0026 F. R.R. Co. For\n a few years, the new all-rail line was used alternating with\n the route that included the Potomac Steamboat Co., the\n successor of the Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat\n Co., until in 1877 the R.F.\u0026 P. terminated its steamboat\n contract and turned its shares back over to that Company.","During the Civil War, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. operated\n largely in the service of the Confederate Army. The damage\n inflicted to equipment, tracks, bridges and buildings was\n considerable.","In the mid 1880's the company prospered again. In 1887 the\n Richmond Byrd St. Station was opened to accommodate the\n increased traffic volume of the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. and the\n Richmond and Petersburg R.R. Co. (R.\u0026 P. R.R. Co.). In\n 1888 a timely freight service for fresh fruit and vegetables\n was inaugurated, a business that should grow fast and steadily\n well into the 20th century. The same year authorization for a\n branch line was granted to these two railroad companies, so\n the growing volume of freight could be directed away from the\n city.","The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R., traditionally a short line railroad,\n had always relied on agreements with other railroad lines\n providing service south of Richmond and north of Washington,\n and in 1900, after several smaller lines had been grouped\n together, those railroads were: Seaboard Air Line R.Y. (from\n Portsmouth and southeast), Atlantic Coast Line R.R. (south of\n Richmond) and the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. (from Quantico\n to Washington, controlled by the Pennsylvania R.R. Co.). In\n 1901, Seaboard Air Line R.Y., Atlantic Coast Line R.R., the\n Pennsylvania R.R., the Southern R.Y. Co., the Chesapeake and\n Ohio R.Y. Co., as well as the Baltimore and Ohio R.Y. Co.\n agreed to form the Richmond-Washington Co. That Company\n acquired the entire stock of the Washington Southern R.Y. Co.\n and the majority of R.F.\u0026 P.'s voting stock. The six\n partner would all be treated equally and have the same rights\n in the dealings with the R.F.\u0026 P. The R.F.\u0026 P. and\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under common management at\n his point, and operated jointly as the \"Richmond-Washington\n Line.\" For the next two decades the R.F.\u0026 P. kept\n expanding and modernizing at a rapid pace. The Richmond\n Terminal R.Y. Co. was chartered in 1916 with the purpose of\n constructing and operating a passenger terminal, and in 1919\n Broad St. passenger station (architect: John Russell Pope) was\n completed. R.F.\u0026 P. and Atlantic Coast Line R.R. both\n owned equal amounts of the Richmond Terminal Co.'s shares.","Starting in December 1917, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under Federal Control for 26\n months, and played an important role in the transportation of\n military personnel and equipment.","Three years later, in 1920, the Washington Southern R.Y.\n Co., which had been managed jointly with the R.F.\u0026 P.\n since 1901, was completely merged into the latter. A large\n freight terminal was added to the Acca Freight Yards in 1924,\n tracks were improved and cars and locomotives modernized. The\n growing competition of automobiles on shorter distances\n prompted the R.F.\u0026 P. in 1928 to halt its less and less\n efficient steam train service between Richmond and Ashland and\n to replace it with a passenger bus service. Thus the Suburban\n Motor Coach Co. was incorporated the same year, the R.F.\u0026\n P. R.R. being the main shareholder. Soon passenger bus travel\n was introduced between Washington and various places south of\n Alexandria, and the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. was\n chartered in 1929. It was fully owned by the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.\n and the Suburban Motor Coach Co. merged into the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Transportation Co. in March of the same year. In August 1929,\n the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. and the competing\n Richmond- Washington Motor Coaches (owned by the Greyhound\n Co.) merged to form the Richmond-Greyhound Lines, Inc. Service\n was soon expanded to reach from Washington to Norfolk. During\n the Depression years, the R.F.\u0026 P. struggled with reduced\n passenger and freight service revenues, challenges which the\n company tried to meet by reducing it's passenger fares as well\n as attempting to join the developing market for truck service\n business.","Starting in 1931 the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co.\n experimented with truck freight service between Richmond and\n Washington, but discontinued the operation due to lack of\n profits in 1939.","Traffic of passengers and freight reached a high during\n WWII, and considerable investments were made to modernize\n engines and rail yards. After 1945 passenger travel decreased\n steadily, and Amtrak finally serviced that part of the\n operation in 1970. With the foundation of the Richmond Holding\n Company in 1957 the R.F.\u0026 P. had started to pursue another\n business avenue. Although the R.F.\u0026 P. had always been\n involved in Real Estate deals, and was the sole stockholder of\n the Richmond Land Corp. (inc. 1901), it had done so only for\n the purpose of securing and developing land for the expansion\n of its rail service. Now the Real Estate and Land Development\n Business should become an enterprise in its own right. Other\n important development of the 1960's and 1970's were the\n opening of Bryan Park Terminal (1962), the purchase and\n subsequent development of the Dahlgreen Railroad line and\n adjacent properties (1964), and the move to the new Main\n Office building at Acca Yard (1976). At this point, the\n Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co. was dissolved, and Broad Street\n Station - no longer in usage - was sold to the Commonwealth of\n Virginia. By the early 1980's ownership of the\n Richmond-Washington Co. and with it of the R.F.\u0026 P. had\n changed: now the Commonwealth of Virginia, Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad, Southern Railway, and Chessie System Railroad all\n shared the capital stock. R.F.\u0026 P.'s most important rail\n freight connections at that time were Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad and Conrail. Despite continued modernization and\n collaboration with other carriers, earnings of the real estate\n branch outgrew those of the freight sector by the mid 1980's.\n Those changed realities let to a major company restructuring\n in 1988 with the founding of the R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation, a\n publicly owned, Virginia-based holding company that controlled\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and R.F.\u0026 P. Properties, a real\n estate investment, leasing and development company. Already\n before the reorganization, the CSX Corporation (formed through\n a merger of Chessie System and Seabord Coastline Industries in\n 1980), which owned the majority of the Richmond-Washington\n Co., and thus controlled the R.F.\u0026 P. Co., had been\n interested merging the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. entirely into its\n own enterprise. At this time the Commonwealth of Virginia,\n through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) still held a 20%\n interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. After one failed merger attempt\n in early 1990, CSX and the VRS, which owned about 27 % of\n R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation stock by now, came to the following\n agreement in August of 1991: the VRS, through its subsidiary\n Systems Holdings, acquired 99 percent of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation's shares. It then sold the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. to\n CSX Transportation, which fully merged it into its own railway\n line. This transaction factually ended the 157 year history of\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. The remaining part of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation, the Real Estate business came under the control\n of the VRS, and was subsequently sold to Commonwealth Atlantic\n Properties.","Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg Railway\n Co. Incorporated 1851 as Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg\n Road Co.; taken over by the Pennsylvania R.R. in 1870. Merged\n with the Alexandria \u0026 Washington R.Y.

Reels 2161-2177, List of Contents","The following is a brief outline of the R.F.\u0026 P.'s\n complex, 157 year history. The Company has been the subject of\n several publications, which should be consulted for more\n in-depths presentations:","Griffin, Jr., William E. \n One Hundred Fifty Years of History,\n Along the Richmond, Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac\n Railroad. Richmond: R.F.\u0026 P., 1984. \n Griffin, Jr., William E. \n Richmond, Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac\n Railroad, The Capital Cities Route. Lynchburg,\n Virginia, 1994. Mordecai, John B. \n A Brief History of the Richmond,\n Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac Railroad. Richmond, 1940. Prince, Richard E. \n The Richmond-Washington Line and\n Related Railroads. Millard, Neb.: Richard E. Prince,\n 1973.","The Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad\n (R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.) was incorporated by an Act of the General\n Assembly of Virginia on 25 February 1834. It was at the time\n the sixth railroad to be chartered in Virginia. The company's\n purpose was to provide rail service from Richmond to the\n Potomac River near Washington, D.C. In 1835 the General\n Assembly authorized the subscription to two fifths of the\n Company stock. The State was proportionally represented with\n two Directors out of five on the Company's Board. Throughout a\n large part of the company's history the State of Virginia\n guarded its interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. by prohibiting other\n railroads to parallel the route of the R.F.\u0026 P. In 1836\n the tracks from Richmond to South Anna were completed, in 1837\n the extension to Fredericksburg. Service for the Post Office\n began in 1838, increasing the line's traffic. In 1842\n construction of the line was finished up to Aquia Creek,\n eliminating the use of a stage coach. From Aquia Creek the\n Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat Co. provided the\n transportation to Washington. The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. bought\n half of the Steamer Co.'s stock in 1845. With the goal of an\n eventual all-rail connection between Richmond and Washington\n in mind, the Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg R.R. Co was\n incorporated in 1851. With the completion of its line to\n Quantico in 1872, a continuous rail connection from NC to\n Baltimore had been established. The Potomac R.R. Co. lines\n were completed the same year and provided connecting service\n between the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the A.\u0026 F. R.R. Co. For\n a few years, the new all-rail line was used alternating with\n the route that included the Potomac Steamboat Co., the\n successor of the Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat\n Co., until in 1877 the R.F.\u0026 P. terminated its steamboat\n contract and turned its shares back over to that Company.","During the Civil War, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. operated\n largely in the service of the Confederate Army. The damage\n inflicted to equipment, tracks, bridges and buildings was\n considerable.","In the mid 1880's the company prospered again. In 1887 the\n Richmond Byrd St. Station was opened to accommodate the\n increased traffic volume of the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. and the\n Richmond and Petersburg R.R. Co. (R.\u0026 P. R.R. Co.). In\n 1888 a timely freight service for fresh fruit and vegetables\n was inaugurated, a business that should grow fast and steadily\n well into the 20th century. The same year authorization for a\n branch line was granted to these two railroad companies, so\n the growing volume of freight could be directed away from the\n city.","The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R., traditionally a short line railroad,\n had always relied on agreements with other railroad lines\n providing service south of Richmond and north of Washington,\n and in 1900, after several smaller lines had been grouped\n together, those railroads were: Seaboard Air Line R.Y. (from\n Portsmouth and southeast), Atlantic Coast Line R.R. (south of\n Richmond) and the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. (from Quantico\n to Washington, controlled by the Pennsylvania R.R. Co.). In\n 1901, Seaboard Air Line R.Y., Atlantic Coast Line R.R., the\n Pennsylvania R.R., the Southern R.Y. Co., the Chesapeake and\n Ohio R.Y. Co., as well as the Baltimore and Ohio R.Y. Co.\n agreed to form the Richmond-Washington Co. That Company\n acquired the entire stock of the Washington Southern R.Y. Co.\n and the majority of R.F.\u0026 P.'s voting stock. The six\n partner would all be treated equally and have the same rights\n in the dealings with the R.F.\u0026 P. The R.F.\u0026 P. and\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under common management at\n his point, and operated jointly as the \"Richmond-Washington\n Line.\" For the next two decades the R.F.\u0026 P. kept\n expanding and modernizing at a rapid pace. The Richmond\n Terminal R.Y. Co. was chartered in 1916 with the purpose of\n constructing and operating a passenger terminal, and in 1919\n Broad St. passenger station (architect: John Russell Pope) was\n completed. R.F.\u0026 P. and Atlantic Coast Line R.R. both\n owned equal amounts of the Richmond Terminal Co.'s shares.","Starting in December 1917, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under Federal Control for 26\n months, and played an important role in the transportation of\n military personnel and equipment.","Three years later, in 1920, the Washington Southern R.Y.\n Co., which had been managed jointly with the R.F.\u0026 P.\n since 1901, was completely merged into the latter. A large\n freight terminal was added to the Acca Freight Yards in 1924,\n tracks were improved and cars and locomotives modernized. The\n growing competition of automobiles on shorter distances\n prompted the R.F.\u0026 P. in 1928 to halt its less and less\n efficient steam train service between Richmond and Ashland and\n to replace it with a passenger bus service. Thus the Suburban\n Motor Coach Co. was incorporated the same year, the R.F.\u0026\n P. R.R. being the main shareholder. Soon passenger bus travel\n was introduced between Washington and various places south of\n Alexandria, and the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. was\n chartered in 1929. It was fully owned by the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.\n and the Suburban Motor Coach Co. merged into the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Transportation Co. in March of the same year. In August 1929,\n the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. and the competing\n Richmond- Washington Motor Coaches (owned by the Greyhound\n Co.) merged to form the Richmond-Greyhound Lines, Inc. Service\n was soon expanded to reach from Washington to Norfolk. During\n the Depression years, the R.F.\u0026 P. struggled with reduced\n passenger and freight service revenues, challenges which the\n company tried to meet by reducing it's passenger fares as well\n as attempting to join the developing market for truck service\n business.","Starting in 1931 the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co.\n experimented with truck freight service between Richmond and\n Washington, but discontinued the operation due to lack of\n profits in 1939.","Traffic of passengers and freight reached a high during\n WWII, and considerable investments were made to modernize\n engines and rail yards. After 1945 passenger travel decreased\n steadily, and Amtrak finally serviced that part of the\n operation in 1970. With the foundation of the Richmond Holding\n Company in 1957 the R.F.\u0026 P. had started to pursue another\n business avenue. Although the R.F.\u0026 P. had always been\n involved in Real Estate deals, and was the sole stockholder of\n the Richmond Land Corp. (inc. 1901), it had done so only for\n the purpose of securing and developing land for the expansion\n of its rail service. Now the Real Estate and Land Development\n Business should become an enterprise in its own right. Other\n important development of the 1960's and 1970's were the\n opening of Bryan Park Terminal (1962), the purchase and\n subsequent development of the Dahlgreen Railroad line and\n adjacent properties (1964), and the move to the new Main\n Office building at Acca Yard (1976). At this point, the\n Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co. was dissolved, and Broad Street\n Station - no longer in usage - was sold to the Commonwealth of\n Virginia. By the early 1980's ownership of the\n Richmond-Washington Co. and with it of the R.F.\u0026 P. had\n changed: now the Commonwealth of Virginia, Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad, Southern Railway, and Chessie System Railroad all\n shared the capital stock. R.F.\u0026 P.'s most important rail\n freight connections at that time were Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad and Conrail. Despite continued modernization and\n collaboration with other carriers, earnings of the real estate\n branch outgrew those of the freight sector by the mid 1980's.\n Those changed realities let to a major company restructuring\n in 1988 with the founding of the R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation, a\n publicly owned, Virginia-based holding company that controlled\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and R.F.\u0026 P. Properties, a real\n estate investment, leasing and development company. Already\n before the reorganization, the CSX Corporation (formed through\n a merger of Chessie System and Seabord Coastline Industries in\n 1980), which owned the majority of the Richmond-Washington\n Co., and thus controlled the R.F.\u0026 P. Co., had been\n interested merging the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. entirely into its\n own enterprise. At this time the Commonwealth of Virginia,\n through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) still held a 20%\n interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. After one failed merger attempt\n in early 1990, CSX and the VRS, which owned about 27 % of\n R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation stock by now, came to the following\n agreement in August of 1991: the VRS, through its subsidiary\n Systems Holdings, acquired 99 percent of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation's shares. It then sold the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. to\n CSX Transportation, which fully merged it into its own railway\n line. This transaction factually ended the 157 year history of\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. The remaining part of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation, the Real Estate business came under the control\n of the VRS, and was subsequently sold to Commonwealth Atlantic\n Properties.","Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg Railway\n Co. Incorporated 1851 as Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg\n Road Co.; taken over by the Pennsylvania R.R. in 1870. Merged\n with the Alexandria \u0026 Washington R.Y. Co. to form the\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. in 1890.","Alexandria \u0026 Washington Railway\n Co. Inc. 1854.

Co. to\n form the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. in 1890.","Fruit Growers Express Co. Inc. 1920 as a successor of Fruit Growers Express;\n shares were owned by several railroads in need of refrigerated\n cars transporting fruit and vegetables from the South to the\n North. R.F.\u0026 P. initially owned 4.5% the shares; it sold\n its 3 % remaining shares in 1982.","Lewis Ginter Land and Improvement\n Co. Inc. Feb. 15, 1901. In 1957 the entire stock was\n purchased by the Richmond Holding Corporation (sole\n stockholder was the R.F.\u0026 P.

R.R.) was incorporated by an Act of the General\n Assembly of Virginia on 25 February 1834. It was at the time\n the sixth railroad to be chartered in Virginia. The company's\n purpose was to provide rail service from Richmond to the\n Potomac River near Washington, D.C. In 1835 the General\n Assembly authorized the subscription to two fifths of the\n Company stock. The State was proportionally represented with\n two Directors out of five on the Company's Board. Throughout a\n large part of the company's history the State of Virginia\n guarded its interest in the R.F.\u0026amp; P. by prohibiting other\n railroads to parallel the route of the R.F.\u0026amp; P. In 1836\n the tracks from Richmond to South Anna were completed, in 1837\n the extension to Fredericksburg. Service for the Post Office\n began in 1838, increasing the line's traffic. In 1842\n construction of the line was finished up to Aquia Creek,\n eliminating the use of a stage coach. From Aquia Creek the\n Washington \u0026amp; Fredericksburg Steamboat Co. provided the\n transportation to Washington. The R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. bought\n half of the Steamer Co.'s stock in 1845. With the goal of an\n eventual all-rail connection between Richmond and Washington\n in mind, the Alexandria \u0026amp; Fredericksburg R.R. Co was\n incorporated in 1851. With the completion of its line to\n Quantico in 1872, a continuous rail connection from NC to\n Baltimore had been established. The Potomac R.R. Co. lines\n were completed the same year and provided connecting service\n between the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. and the A.\u0026amp; F. R.R. Co. For\n a few years, the new all-rail line was used alternating with\n the route that included the Potomac Steamboat Co., the\n successor of the Washington \u0026amp; Fredericksburg Steamboat\n Co., until in 1877 the R.F.\u0026amp; P. terminated its steamboat\n contract and turned its shares back over to that Company.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eDuring the Civil War, the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. operated\n largely in the service of the Confederate Army. The damage\n inflicted to equipment, tracks, bridges and buildings was\n considerable.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIn the mid 1880's the company prospered again. In 1887 the\n Richmond Byrd St. Station was opened to accommodate the\n increased traffic volume of the R.F.\u0026amp; P.R.R. Co. and the\n Richmond and Petersburg R.R. Co. (R.\u0026amp; P. R.R. Co.). In\n 1888 a timely freight service for fresh fruit and vegetables\n was inaugurated, a business that should grow fast and steadily\n well into the 20th century. The same year authorization for a\n branch line was granted to these two railroad companies, so\n the growing volume of freight could be directed away from the\n city.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R., traditionally a short line railroad,\n had always relied on agreements with other railroad lines\n providing service south of Richmond and north of Washington,\n and in 1900, after several smaller lines had been grouped\n together, those railroads were: Seaboard Air Line R.Y. (from\n Portsmouth and southeast), Atlantic Coast Line R.R. (south of\n Richmond) and the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. (from Quantico\n to Washington, controlled by the Pennsylvania R.R. Co.). In\n 1901, Seaboard Air Line R.Y., Atlantic Coast Line R.R., the\n Pennsylvania R.R., the Southern R.Y. Co., the Chesapeake and\n Ohio R.Y. Co., as well as the Baltimore and Ohio R.Y. Co.\n agreed to form the Richmond-Washington Co. That Company\n acquired the entire stock of the Washington Southern R.Y. Co.\n and the majority of R.F.\u0026amp; P.'s voting stock. The six\n partner would all be treated equally and have the same rights\n in the dealings with the R.F.\u0026amp; P. The R.F.\u0026amp; P. and\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under common management at\n his point, and operated jointly as the \"Richmond-Washington\n Line.\" For the next two decades the R.F.\u0026amp; P. kept\n expanding and modernizing at a rapid pace. The Richmond\n Terminal R.Y. Co. was chartered in 1916 with the purpose of\n constructing and operating a passenger terminal, and in 1919\n Broad St. passenger station (architect: John Russell Pope) was\n completed. R.F.\u0026amp; P. and Atlantic Coast Line R.R. both\n owned equal amounts of the Richmond Terminal Co.'s shares.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eStarting in December 1917, the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. and the\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under Federal Control for 26\n months, and played an important role in the transportation of\n military personnel and equipment.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThree years later, in 1920, the Washington Southern R.Y.\n Co., which had been managed jointly with the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n since 1901, was completely merged into the latter. A large\n freight terminal was added to the Acca Freight Yards in 1924,\n tracks were improved and cars and locomotives modernized. The\n growing competition of automobiles on shorter distances\n prompted the R.F.\u0026amp; P. in 1928 to halt its less and less\n efficient steam train service between Richmond and Ashland and\n to replace it with a passenger bus service. Thus the Suburban\n Motor Coach Co. was incorporated the same year, the R.F.\u0026amp;\n P. R.R. being the main shareholder. Soon passenger bus travel\n was introduced between Washington and various places south of\n Alexandria, and the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Transportation Co. was\n chartered in 1929. It was fully owned by the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R.\n and the Suburban Motor Coach Co. merged into the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n Transportation Co. in March of the same year. In August 1929,\n the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Transportation Co. and the competing\n Richmond- Washington Motor Coaches (owned by the Greyhound\n Co.) merged to form the Richmond-Greyhound Lines, Inc. Service\n was soon expanded to reach from Washington to Norfolk. During\n the Depression years, the R.F.\u0026amp; P. struggled with reduced\n passenger and freight service revenues, challenges which the\n company tried to meet by reducing it's passenger fares as well\n as attempting to join the developing market for truck service\n business.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eStarting in 1931 the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Transportation Co.\n experimented with truck freight service between Richmond and\n Washington, but discontinued the operation due to lack of\n profits in 1939.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eTraffic of passengers and freight reached a high during\n WWII, and considerable investments were made to modernize\n engines and rail yards. After 1945 passenger travel decreased\n steadily, and Amtrak finally serviced that part of the\n operation in 1970. With the foundation of the Richmond Holding\n Company in 1957 the R.F.\u0026amp; P. had started to pursue another\n business avenue. Although the R.F.\u0026amp; P. had always been\n involved in Real Estate deals, and was the sole stockholder of\n the Richmond Land Corp. (inc. 1901), it had done so only for\n the purpose of securing and developing land for the expansion\n of its rail service. Now the Real Estate and Land Development\n Business should become an enterprise in its own right. Other\n important development of the 1960's and 1970's were the\n opening of Bryan Park Terminal (1962), the purchase and\n subsequent development of the Dahlgreen Railroad line and\n adjacent properties (1964), and the move to the new Main\n Office building at Acca Yard (1976). At this point, the\n Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co. was dissolved, and Broad Street\n Station - no longer in usage - was sold to the Commonwealth of\n Virginia. By the early 1980's ownership of the\n Richmond-Washington Co. and with it of the R.F.\u0026amp; P. had\n changed: now the Commonwealth of Virginia, Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad, Southern Railway, and Chessie System Railroad all\n shared the capital stock. R.F.\u0026amp; P.'s most important rail\n freight connections at that time were Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad and Conrail. Despite continued modernization and\n collaboration with other carriers, earnings of the real estate\n branch outgrew those of the freight sector by the mid 1980's.\n Those changed realities let to a major company restructuring\n in 1988 with the founding of the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Corporation, a\n publicly owned, Virginia-based holding company that controlled\n the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. and R.F.\u0026amp; P. Properties, a real\n estate investment, leasing and development company. Already\n before the reorganization, the CSX Corporation (formed through\n a merger of Chessie System and Seabord Coastline Industries in\n 1980), which owned the majority of the Richmond-Washington\n Co., and thus controlled the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Co., had been\n interested merging the R.F.\u0026amp; P.R.R. Co. entirely into its\n own enterprise. At this time the Commonwealth of Virginia,\n through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) still held a 20%\n interest in the R.F.\u0026amp; P. After one failed merger attempt\n in early 1990, CSX and the VRS, which owned about 27 % of\n R.F.\u0026amp; P. Corporation stock by now, came to the following\n agreement in August of 1991: the VRS, through its subsidiary\n Systems Holdings, acquired 99 percent of the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n Corporation's shares. It then sold the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. to\n CSX Transportation, which fully merged it into its own railway\n line. This transaction factually ended the 157 year history of\n the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. The remaining part of the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n Corporation, the Real Estate business came under the control\n of the VRS, and was subsequently sold to Commonwealth Atlantic\n Properties.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e\u003cemph render=\"bold\"\u003eAlexandria \u0026amp; Fredericksburg Railway\n Co.\u003c/emph\u003e\u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eIncorporated 1851 as Alexandria \u0026amp; Fredericksburg\n Road Co.; taken over by the Pennsylvania R.R. in 1870.

The company's\n purpose was to provide rail service from Richmond to the\n Potomac River near Washington, D.C. In 1835 the General\n Assembly authorized the subscription to two fifths of the\n Company stock. The State was proportionally represented with\n two Directors out of five on the Company's Board.

With the goal of an\n eventual all-rail connection between Richmond and Washington\n in mind, the Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg R.R. Co was\n incorporated in 1851. With the completion of its line to\n Quantico in 1872, a continuous rail connection from NC to\n Baltimore had been established. The Potomac R.R. Co. lines\n were completed the same year and provided connecting service\n between the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the A.\u0026 F. R.R. Co. For\n a few years, the new all-rail line was used alternating with\n the route that included the Potomac Steamboat Co., the\n successor of the Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat\n Co., until in 1877 the R.F.\u0026 P. terminated its steamboat\n contract and turned its shares back over to that Company.","During the Civil War, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. operated\n largely in the service of the Confederate Army. The damage\n inflicted to equipment, tracks, bridges and buildings was\n considerable.","In the mid 1880's the company prospered again. In 1887 the\n Richmond Byrd St. Station was opened to accommodate the\n increased traffic volume of the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. and the\n Richmond and Petersburg R.R. Co. (R.\u0026 P. R.R. Co.). In\n 1888 a timely freight service for fresh fruit and vegetables\n was inaugurated, a business that should grow fast and steadily\n well into the 20th century. The same year authorization for a\n branch line was granted to these two railroad companies, so\n the growing volume of freight could be directed away from the\n city.","The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R., traditionally a short line railroad,\n had always relied on agreements with other railroad lines\n providing service south of Richmond and north of Washington,\n and in 1900, after several smaller lines had been grouped\n together, those railroads were: Seaboard Air Line R.Y. (from\n Portsmouth and southeast), Atlantic Coast Line R.R. (south of\n Richmond) and the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. (from Quantico\n to Washington, controlled by the Pennsylvania R.R. Co.). In\n 1901, Seaboard Air Line R.Y., Atlantic Coast Line R.R., the\n Pennsylvania R.R., the Southern R.Y. Co., the Chesapeake and\n Ohio R.Y. Co., as well as the Baltimore and Ohio R.Y. Co.\n agreed to form the Richmond-Washington Co. That Company\n acquired the entire stock of the Washington Southern R.Y. Co.\n and the majority of R.F.\u0026 P.'s voting stock. The six\n partner would all be treated equally and have the same rights\n in the dealings with the R.F.\u0026 P. The R.F.\u0026 P. and\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under common management at\n his point, and operated jointly as the \"Richmond-Washington\n Line.\" For the next two decades the R.F.\u0026 P. kept\n expanding and modernizing at a rapid pace. The Richmond\n Terminal R.Y. Co. was chartered in 1916 with the purpose of\n constructing and operating a passenger terminal, and in 1919\n Broad St. passenger station (architect: John Russell Pope) was\n completed. R.F.\u0026 P. and Atlantic Coast Line R.R. both\n owned equal amounts of the Richmond Terminal Co.'s shares.","Starting in December 1917, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under Federal Control for 26\n months, and played an important role in the transportation of\n military personnel and equipment.","Three years later, in 1920, the Washington Southern R.Y.\n Co., which had been managed jointly with the R.F.\u0026 P.\n since 1901, was completely merged into the latter. A large\n freight terminal was added to the Acca Freight Yards in 1924,\n tracks were improved and cars and locomotives modernized. The\n growing competition of automobiles on shorter distances\n prompted the R.F.\u0026 P. in 1928 to halt its less and less\n efficient steam train service between Richmond and Ashland and\n to replace it with a passenger bus service. Thus the Suburban\n Motor Coach Co. was incorporated the same year, the R.F.\u0026\n P. R.R. being the main shareholder. Soon passenger bus travel\n was introduced between Washington and various places south of\n Alexandria, and the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. was\n chartered in 1929. It was fully owned by the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.\n and the Suburban Motor Coach Co. merged into the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Transportation Co. in March of the same year. In August 1929,\n the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. and the competing\n Richmond- Washington Motor Coaches (owned by the Greyhound\n Co.) merged to form the Richmond-Greyhound Lines, Inc. Service\n was soon expanded to reach from Washington to Norfolk. During\n the Depression years, the R.F.\u0026 P. struggled with reduced\n passenger and freight service revenues, challenges which the\n company tried to meet by reducing it's passenger fares as well\n as attempting to join the developing market for truck service\n business.","Starting in 1931 the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co.\n experimented with truck freight service between Richmond and\n Washington, but discontinued the operation due to lack of\n profits in 1939.","Traffic of passengers and freight reached a high during\n WWII, and considerable investments were made to modernize\n engines and rail yards. After 1945 passenger travel decreased\n steadily, and Amtrak finally serviced that part of the\n operation in 1970. With the foundation of the Richmond Holding\n Company in 1957 the R.F.\u0026 P. had started to pursue another\n business avenue. Although the R.F.\u0026 P. had always been\n involved in Real Estate deals, and was the sole stockholder of\n the Richmond Land Corp. (inc. 1901), it had done so only for\n the purpose of securing and developing land for the expansion\n of its rail service. Now the Real Estate and Land Development\n Business should become an enterprise in its own right. Other\n important development of the 1960's and 1970's were the\n opening of Bryan Park Terminal (1962), the purchase and\n subsequent development of the Dahlgreen Railroad line and\n adjacent properties (1964), and the move to the new Main\n Office building at Acca Yard (1976). At this point, the\n Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co. was dissolved, and Broad Street\n Station - no longer in usage - was sold to the Commonwealth of\n Virginia. By the early 1980's ownership of the\n Richmond-Washington Co. and with it of the R.F.\u0026 P. had\n changed: now the Commonwealth of Virginia, Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad, Southern Railway, and Chessie System Railroad all\n shared the capital stock. R.F.\u0026 P.'s most important rail\n freight connections at that time were Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad and Conrail. Despite continued modernization and\n collaboration with other carriers, earnings of the real estate\n branch outgrew those of the freight sector by the mid 1980's.\n Those changed realities let to a major company restructuring\n in 1988 with the founding of the R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation, a\n publicly owned, Virginia-based holding company that controlled\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and R.F.\u0026 P. Properties, a real\n estate investment, leasing and development company. Already\n before the reorganization, the CSX Corporation (formed through\n a merger of Chessie System and Seabord Coastline Industries in\n 1980), which owned the majority of the Richmond-Washington\n Co., and thus controlled the R.F.\u0026 P. Co., had been\n interested merging the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. entirely into its\n own enterprise. At this time the Commonwealth of Virginia,\n through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) still held a 20%\n interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. After one failed merger attempt\n in early 1990, CSX and the VRS, which owned about 27 % of\n R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation stock by now, came to the following\n agreement in August of 1991: the VRS, through its subsidiary\n Systems Holdings, acquired 99 percent of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation's shares. It then sold the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. to\n CSX Transportation, which fully merged it into its own railway\n line. This transaction factually ended the 157 year history of\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. The remaining part of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation, the Real Estate business came under the control\n of the VRS, and was subsequently sold to Commonwealth Atlantic\n Properties.","Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg Railway\n Co. Incorporated 1851 as Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg\n Road Co.; taken over by the Pennsylvania R.R. in 1870. Merged\n with the Alexandria \u0026 Washington R.Y.

Reels 2161-2177, List of Contents","The following is a brief outline of the R.F.\u0026 P.'s\n complex, 157 year history. The Company has been the subject of\n several publications, which should be consulted for more\n in-depths presentations:","Griffin, Jr., William E. \n One Hundred Fifty Years of History,\n Along the Richmond, Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac\n Railroad. Richmond: R.F.\u0026 P., 1984. \n Griffin, Jr., William E. \n Richmond, Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac\n Railroad, The Capital Cities Route. Lynchburg,\n Virginia, 1994. Mordecai, John B. \n A Brief History of the Richmond,\n Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac Railroad. Richmond, 1940. Prince, Richard E. \n The Richmond-Washington Line and\n Related Railroads. Millard, Neb.: Richard E. Prince,\n 1973.","The Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad\n (R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.) was incorporated by an Act of the General\n Assembly of Virginia on 25 February 1834. It was at the time\n the sixth railroad to be chartered in Virginia. The company's\n purpose was to provide rail service from Richmond to the\n Potomac River near Washington, D.C. In 1835 the General\n Assembly authorized the subscription to two fifths of the\n Company stock. The State was proportionally represented with\n two Directors out of five on the Company's Board. Throughout a\n large part of the company's history the State of Virginia\n guarded its interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. by prohibiting other\n railroads to parallel the route of the R.F.\u0026 P. In 1836\n the tracks from Richmond to South Anna were completed, in 1837\n the extension to Fredericksburg. Service for the Post Office\n began in 1838, increasing the line's traffic. In 1842\n construction of the line was finished up to Aquia Creek,\n eliminating the use of a stage coach. From Aquia Creek the\n Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat Co. provided the\n transportation to Washington. The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. bought\n half of the Steamer Co.'s stock in 1845. With the goal of an\n eventual all-rail connection between Richmond and Washington\n in mind, the Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg R.R. Co was\n incorporated in 1851. With the completion of its line to\n Quantico in 1872, a continuous rail connection from NC to\n Baltimore had been established. The Potomac R.R. Co. lines\n were completed the same year and provided connecting service\n between the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the A.\u0026 F. R.R. Co. For\n a few years, the new all-rail line was used alternating with\n the route that included the Potomac Steamboat Co., the\n successor of the Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat\n Co., until in 1877 the R.F.\u0026 P. terminated its steamboat\n contract and turned its shares back over to that Company.","During the Civil War, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. operated\n largely in the service of the Confederate Army. The damage\n inflicted to equipment, tracks, bridges and buildings was\n considerable.","In the mid 1880's the company prospered again. In 1887 the\n Richmond Byrd St. Station was opened to accommodate the\n increased traffic volume of the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. and the\n Richmond and Petersburg R.R. Co. (R.\u0026 P. R.R. Co.). In\n 1888 a timely freight service for fresh fruit and vegetables\n was inaugurated, a business that should grow fast and steadily\n well into the 20th century. The same year authorization for a\n branch line was granted to these two railroad companies, so\n the growing volume of freight could be directed away from the\n city.","The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R., traditionally a short line railroad,\n had always relied on agreements with other railroad lines\n providing service south of Richmond and north of Washington,\n and in 1900, after several smaller lines had been grouped\n together, those railroads were: Seaboard Air Line R.Y. (from\n Portsmouth and southeast), Atlantic Coast Line R.R. (south of\n Richmond) and the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. (from Quantico\n to Washington, controlled by the Pennsylvania R.R. Co.). In\n 1901, Seaboard Air Line R.Y., Atlantic Coast Line R.R., the\n Pennsylvania R.R., the Southern R.Y. Co., the Chesapeake and\n Ohio R.Y. Co., as well as the Baltimore and Ohio R.Y. Co.\n agreed to form the Richmond-Washington Co. That Company\n acquired the entire stock of the Washington Southern R.Y. Co.\n and the majority of R.F.\u0026 P.'s voting stock. The six\n partner would all be treated equally and have the same rights\n in the dealings with the R.F.\u0026 P. The R.F.\u0026 P. and\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under common management at\n his point, and operated jointly as the \"Richmond-Washington\n Line.\" For the next two decades the R.F.\u0026 P. kept\n expanding and modernizing at a rapid pace. The Richmond\n Terminal R.Y. Co. was chartered in 1916 with the purpose of\n constructing and operating a passenger terminal, and in 1919\n Broad St. passenger station (architect: John Russell Pope) was\n completed. R.F.\u0026 P. and Atlantic Coast Line R.R. both\n owned equal amounts of the Richmond Terminal Co.'s shares.","Starting in December 1917, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under Federal Control for 26\n months, and played an important role in the transportation of\n military personnel and equipment.","Three years later, in 1920, the Washington Southern R.Y.\n Co., which had been managed jointly with the R.F.\u0026 P.\n since 1901, was completely merged into the latter. A large\n freight terminal was added to the Acca Freight Yards in 1924,\n tracks were improved and cars and locomotives modernized. The\n growing competition of automobiles on shorter distances\n prompted the R.F.\u0026 P. in 1928 to halt its less and less\n efficient steam train service between Richmond and Ashland and\n to replace it with a passenger bus service. Thus the Suburban\n Motor Coach Co. was incorporated the same year, the R.F.\u0026\n P. R.R. being the main shareholder. Soon passenger bus travel\n was introduced between Washington and various places south of\n Alexandria, and the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. was\n chartered in 1929. It was fully owned by the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.\n and the Suburban Motor Coach Co. merged into the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Transportation Co. in March of the same year. In August 1929,\n the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. and the competing\n Richmond- Washington Motor Coaches (owned by the Greyhound\n Co.) merged to form the Richmond-Greyhound Lines, Inc. Service\n was soon expanded to reach from Washington to Norfolk. During\n the Depression years, the R.F.\u0026 P. struggled with reduced\n passenger and freight service revenues, challenges which the\n company tried to meet by reducing it's passenger fares as well\n as attempting to join the developing market for truck service\n business.","Starting in 1931 the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co.\n experimented with truck freight service between Richmond and\n Washington, but discontinued the operation due to lack of\n profits in 1939.","Traffic of passengers and freight reached a high during\n WWII, and considerable investments were made to modernize\n engines and rail yards. After 1945 passenger travel decreased\n steadily, and Amtrak finally serviced that part of the\n operation in 1970. With the foundation of the Richmond Holding\n Company in 1957 the R.F.\u0026 P. had started to pursue another\n business avenue. Although the R.F.\u0026 P. had always been\n involved in Real Estate deals, and was the sole stockholder of\n the Richmond Land Corp. (inc. 1901), it had done so only for\n the purpose of securing and developing land for the expansion\n of its rail service. Now the Real Estate and Land Development\n Business should become an enterprise in its own right. Other\n important development of the 1960's and 1970's were the\n opening of Bryan Park Terminal (1962), the purchase and\n subsequent development of the Dahlgreen Railroad line and\n adjacent properties (1964), and the move to the new Main\n Office building at Acca Yard (1976). At this point, the\n Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co. was dissolved, and Broad Street\n Station - no longer in usage - was sold to the Commonwealth of\n Virginia. By the early 1980's ownership of the\n Richmond-Washington Co. and with it of the R.F.\u0026 P. had\n changed: now the Commonwealth of Virginia, Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad, Southern Railway, and Chessie System Railroad all\n shared the capital stock. R.F.\u0026 P.'s most important rail\n freight connections at that time were Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad and Conrail. Despite continued modernization and\n collaboration with other carriers, earnings of the real estate\n branch outgrew those of the freight sector by the mid 1980's.\n Those changed realities let to a major company restructuring\n in 1988 with the founding of the R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation, a\n publicly owned, Virginia-based holding company that controlled\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and R.F.\u0026 P. Properties, a real\n estate investment, leasing and development company. Already\n before the reorganization, the CSX Corporation (formed through\n a merger of Chessie System and Seabord Coastline Industries in\n 1980), which owned the majority of the Richmond-Washington\n Co., and thus controlled the R.F.\u0026 P. Co., had been\n interested merging the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. entirely into its\n own enterprise. At this time the Commonwealth of Virginia,\n through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) still held a 20%\n interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. After one failed merger attempt\n in early 1990, CSX and the VRS, which owned about 27 % of\n R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation stock by now, came to the following\n agreement in August of 1991: the VRS, through its subsidiary\n Systems Holdings, acquired 99 percent of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation's shares. It then sold the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. to\n CSX Transportation, which fully merged it into its own railway\n line. This transaction factually ended the 157 year history of\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. The remaining part of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation, the Real Estate business came under the control\n of the VRS, and was subsequently sold to Commonwealth Atlantic\n Properties.","Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg Railway\n Co. Incorporated 1851 as Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg\n Road Co.; taken over by the Pennsylvania R.R. in 1870. Merged\n with the Alexandria \u0026 Washington R.Y. Co. to form the\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. in 1890.","Alexandria \u0026 Washington Railway\n Co. Inc. 1854.

Co. to\n form the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. in 1890.","Fruit Growers Express Co. Inc. 1920 as a successor of Fruit Growers Express;\n shares were owned by several railroads in need of refrigerated\n cars transporting fruit and vegetables from the South to the\n North. R.F.\u0026 P. initially owned 4.5% the shares; it sold\n its 3 % remaining shares in 1982.","Lewis Ginter Land and Improvement\n Co. Inc. Feb. 15, 1901. In 1957 the entire stock was\n purchased by the Richmond Holding Corporation (sole\n stockholder was the R.F.\u0026 P.

R.R.) was incorporated by an Act of the General\n Assembly of Virginia on 25 February 1834. It was at the time\n the sixth railroad to be chartered in Virginia. The company's\n purpose was to provide rail service from Richmond to the\n Potomac River near Washington, D.C. In 1835 the General\n Assembly authorized the subscription to two fifths of the\n Company stock. The State was proportionally represented with\n two Directors out of five on the Company's Board. Throughout a\n large part of the company's history the State of Virginia\n guarded its interest in the R.F.\u0026amp; P. by prohibiting other\n railroads to parallel the route of the R.F.\u0026amp; P. In 1836\n the tracks from Richmond to South Anna were completed, in 1837\n the extension to Fredericksburg. Service for the Post Office\n began in 1838, increasing the line's traffic. In 1842\n construction of the line was finished up to Aquia Creek,\n eliminating the use of a stage coach. From Aquia Creek the\n Washington \u0026amp; Fredericksburg Steamboat Co. provided the\n transportation to Washington. The R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. bought\n half of the Steamer Co.'s stock in 1845. With the goal of an\n eventual all-rail connection between Richmond and Washington\n in mind, the Alexandria \u0026amp; Fredericksburg R.R. Co was\n incorporated in 1851. With the completion of its line to\n Quantico in 1872, a continuous rail connection from NC to\n Baltimore had been established. The Potomac R.R. Co. lines\n were completed the same year and provided connecting service\n between the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. and the A.\u0026amp; F. R.R. Co. For\n a few years, the new all-rail line was used alternating with\n the route that included the Potomac Steamboat Co., the\n successor of the Washington \u0026amp; Fredericksburg Steamboat\n Co., until in 1877 the R.F.\u0026amp; P. terminated its steamboat\n contract and turned its shares back over to that Company.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eDuring the Civil War, the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. operated\n largely in the service of the Confederate Army. The damage\n inflicted to equipment, tracks, bridges and buildings was\n considerable.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIn the mid 1880's the company prospered again. In 1887 the\n Richmond Byrd St. Station was opened to accommodate the\n increased traffic volume of the R.F.\u0026amp; P.R.R. Co. and the\n Richmond and Petersburg R.R. Co. (R.\u0026amp; P. R.R. Co.). In\n 1888 a timely freight service for fresh fruit and vegetables\n was inaugurated, a business that should grow fast and steadily\n well into the 20th century. The same year authorization for a\n branch line was granted to these two railroad companies, so\n the growing volume of freight could be directed away from the\n city.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R., traditionally a short line railroad,\n had always relied on agreements with other railroad lines\n providing service south of Richmond and north of Washington,\n and in 1900, after several smaller lines had been grouped\n together, those railroads were: Seaboard Air Line R.Y. (from\n Portsmouth and southeast), Atlantic Coast Line R.R. (south of\n Richmond) and the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. (from Quantico\n to Washington, controlled by the Pennsylvania R.R. Co.). In\n 1901, Seaboard Air Line R.Y., Atlantic Coast Line R.R., the\n Pennsylvania R.R., the Southern R.Y. Co., the Chesapeake and\n Ohio R.Y. Co., as well as the Baltimore and Ohio R.Y. Co.\n agreed to form the Richmond-Washington Co. That Company\n acquired the entire stock of the Washington Southern R.Y. Co.\n and the majority of R.F.\u0026amp; P.'s voting stock. The six\n partner would all be treated equally and have the same rights\n in the dealings with the R.F.\u0026amp; P. The R.F.\u0026amp; P. and\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under common management at\n his point, and operated jointly as the \"Richmond-Washington\n Line.\" For the next two decades the R.F.\u0026amp; P. kept\n expanding and modernizing at a rapid pace. The Richmond\n Terminal R.Y. Co. was chartered in 1916 with the purpose of\n constructing and operating a passenger terminal, and in 1919\n Broad St. passenger station (architect: John Russell Pope) was\n completed. R.F.\u0026amp; P. and Atlantic Coast Line R.R. both\n owned equal amounts of the Richmond Terminal Co.'s shares.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eStarting in December 1917, the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. and the\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under Federal Control for 26\n months, and played an important role in the transportation of\n military personnel and equipment.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThree years later, in 1920, the Washington Southern R.Y.\n Co., which had been managed jointly with the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n since 1901, was completely merged into the latter. A large\n freight terminal was added to the Acca Freight Yards in 1924,\n tracks were improved and cars and locomotives modernized. The\n growing competition of automobiles on shorter distances\n prompted the R.F.\u0026amp; P. in 1928 to halt its less and less\n efficient steam train service between Richmond and Ashland and\n to replace it with a passenger bus service. Thus the Suburban\n Motor Coach Co. was incorporated the same year, the R.F.\u0026amp;\n P. R.R. being the main shareholder. Soon passenger bus travel\n was introduced between Washington and various places south of\n Alexandria, and the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Transportation Co. was\n chartered in 1929. It was fully owned by the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R.\n and the Suburban Motor Coach Co. merged into the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n Transportation Co. in March of the same year. In August 1929,\n the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Transportation Co. and the competing\n Richmond- Washington Motor Coaches (owned by the Greyhound\n Co.) merged to form the Richmond-Greyhound Lines, Inc. Service\n was soon expanded to reach from Washington to Norfolk. During\n the Depression years, the R.F.\u0026amp; P. struggled with reduced\n passenger and freight service revenues, challenges which the\n company tried to meet by reducing it's passenger fares as well\n as attempting to join the developing market for truck service\n business.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eStarting in 1931 the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Transportation Co.\n experimented with truck freight service between Richmond and\n Washington, but discontinued the operation due to lack of\n profits in 1939.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eTraffic of passengers and freight reached a high during\n WWII, and considerable investments were made to modernize\n engines and rail yards. After 1945 passenger travel decreased\n steadily, and Amtrak finally serviced that part of the\n operation in 1970. With the foundation of the Richmond Holding\n Company in 1957 the R.F.\u0026amp; P. had started to pursue another\n business avenue. Although the R.F.\u0026amp; P. had always been\n involved in Real Estate deals, and was the sole stockholder of\n the Richmond Land Corp. (inc. 1901), it had done so only for\n the purpose of securing and developing land for the expansion\n of its rail service. Now the Real Estate and Land Development\n Business should become an enterprise in its own right. Other\n important development of the 1960's and 1970's were the\n opening of Bryan Park Terminal (1962), the purchase and\n subsequent development of the Dahlgreen Railroad line and\n adjacent properties (1964), and the move to the new Main\n Office building at Acca Yard (1976). At this point, the\n Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co. was dissolved, and Broad Street\n Station - no longer in usage - was sold to the Commonwealth of\n Virginia. By the early 1980's ownership of the\n Richmond-Washington Co. and with it of the R.F.\u0026amp; P. had\n changed: now the Commonwealth of Virginia, Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad, Southern Railway, and Chessie System Railroad all\n shared the capital stock. R.F.\u0026amp; P.'s most important rail\n freight connections at that time were Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad and Conrail. Despite continued modernization and\n collaboration with other carriers, earnings of the real estate\n branch outgrew those of the freight sector by the mid 1980's.\n Those changed realities let to a major company restructuring\n in 1988 with the founding of the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Corporation, a\n publicly owned, Virginia-based holding company that controlled\n the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. and R.F.\u0026amp; P. Properties, a real\n estate investment, leasing and development company. Already\n before the reorganization, the CSX Corporation (formed through\n a merger of Chessie System and Seabord Coastline Industries in\n 1980), which owned the majority of the Richmond-Washington\n Co., and thus controlled the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Co., had been\n interested merging the R.F.\u0026amp; P.R.R. Co. entirely into its\n own enterprise. At this time the Commonwealth of Virginia,\n through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) still held a 20%\n interest in the R.F.\u0026amp; P. After one failed merger attempt\n in early 1990, CSX and the VRS, which owned about 27 % of\n R.F.\u0026amp; P. Corporation stock by now, came to the following\n agreement in August of 1991: the VRS, through its subsidiary\n Systems Holdings, acquired 99 percent of the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n Corporation's shares. It then sold the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. to\n CSX Transportation, which fully merged it into its own railway\n line. This transaction factually ended the 157 year history of\n the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. The remaining part of the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n Corporation, the Real Estate business came under the control\n of the VRS, and was subsequently sold to Commonwealth Atlantic\n Properties.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e\u003cemph render=\"bold\"\u003eAlexandria \u0026amp; Fredericksburg Railway\n Co.\u003c/emph\u003e\u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eIncorporated 1851 as Alexandria \u0026amp; Fredericksburg\n Road Co.; taken over by the Pennsylvania R.R. in 1870.

Richmond: R.F.\u0026 P., 1984. \n Griffin, Jr., William E. \n Richmond, Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac\n Railroad, The Capital Cities Route. Lynchburg,\n Virginia, 1994. Mordecai, John B. \n A Brief History of the Richmond,\n Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac Railroad. Richmond, 1940. Prince, Richard E. \n The Richmond-Washington Line and\n Related Railroads. Millard, Neb.: Richard E. Prince,\n 1973.","The Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad\n (R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.) was incorporated by an Act of the General\n Assembly of Virginia on 25 February 1834. It was at the time\n the sixth railroad to be chartered in Virginia. The company's\n purpose was to provide rail service from Richmond to the\n Potomac River near Washington, D.C. In 1835 the General\n Assembly authorized the subscription to two fifths of the\n Company stock. The State was proportionally represented with\n two Directors out of five on the Company's Board. Throughout a\n large part of the company's history the State of Virginia\n guarded its interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. by prohibiting other\n railroads to parallel the route of the R.F.\u0026 P. In 1836\n the tracks from Richmond to South Anna were completed, in 1837\n the extension to Fredericksburg. Service for the Post Office\n began in 1838, increasing the line's traffic. In 1842\n construction of the line was finished up to Aquia Creek,\n eliminating the use of a stage coach. From Aquia Creek the\n Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat Co. provided the\n transportation to Washington. The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. bought\n half of the Steamer Co.'s stock in 1845. With the goal of an\n eventual all-rail connection between Richmond and Washington\n in mind, the Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg R.R. Co was\n incorporated in 1851. With the completion of its line to\n Quantico in 1872, a continuous rail connection from NC to\n Baltimore had been established. The Potomac R.R. Co. lines\n were completed the same year and provided connecting service\n between the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the A.\u0026 F. R.R. Co. For\n a few years, the new all-rail line was used alternating with\n the route that included the Potomac Steamboat Co., the\n successor of the Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat\n Co., until in 1877 the R.F.\u0026 P. terminated its steamboat\n contract and turned its shares back over to that Company.","During the Civil War, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. operated\n largely in the service of the Confederate Army. The damage\n inflicted to equipment, tracks, bridges and buildings was\n considerable.","In the mid 1880's the company prospered again. In 1887 the\n Richmond Byrd St. Station was opened to accommodate the\n increased traffic volume of the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. and the\n Richmond and Petersburg R.R. Co. (R.\u0026 P. R.R. Co.). In\n 1888 a timely freight service for fresh fruit and vegetables\n was inaugurated, a business that should grow fast and steadily\n well into the 20th century. The same year authorization for a\n branch line was granted to these two railroad companies, so\n the growing volume of freight could be directed away from the\n city.","The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R., traditionally a short line railroad,\n had always relied on agreements with other railroad lines\n providing service south of Richmond and north of Washington,\n and in 1900, after several smaller lines had been grouped\n together, those railroads were: Seaboard Air Line R.Y. (from\n Portsmouth and southeast), Atlantic Coast Line R.R. (south of\n Richmond) and the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. (from Quantico\n to Washington, controlled by the Pennsylvania R.R. Co.). In\n 1901, Seaboard Air Line R.Y., Atlantic Coast Line R.R., the\n Pennsylvania R.R., the Southern R.Y. Co., the Chesapeake and\n Ohio R.Y. Co., as well as the Baltimore and Ohio R.Y. Co.\n agreed to form the Richmond-Washington Co. That Company\n acquired the entire stock of the Washington Southern R.Y. Co.\n and the majority of R.F.\u0026 P.'s voting stock. The six\n partner would all be treated equally and have the same rights\n in the dealings with the R.F.\u0026 P. The R.F.\u0026 P. and\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under common management at\n his point, and operated jointly as the \"Richmond-Washington\n Line.\" For the next two decades the R.F.\u0026 P. kept\n expanding and modernizing at a rapid pace. The Richmond\n Terminal R.Y. Co. was chartered in 1916 with the purpose of\n constructing and operating a passenger terminal, and in 1919\n Broad St. passenger station (architect: John Russell Pope) was\n completed. R.F.\u0026 P. and Atlantic Coast Line R.R. both\n owned equal amounts of the Richmond Terminal Co.'s shares.","Starting in December 1917, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under Federal Control for 26\n months, and played an important role in the transportation of\n military personnel and equipment.","Three years later, in 1920, the Washington Southern R.Y.\n Co., which had been managed jointly with the R.F.\u0026 P.\n since 1901, was completely merged into the latter. A large\n freight terminal was added to the Acca Freight Yards in 1924,\n tracks were improved and cars and locomotives modernized. The\n growing competition of automobiles on shorter distances\n prompted the R.F.\u0026 P. in 1928 to halt its less and less\n efficient steam train service between Richmond and Ashland and\n to replace it with a passenger bus service. Thus the Suburban\n Motor Coach Co. was incorporated the same year, the R.F.\u0026\n P. R.R. being the main shareholder. Soon passenger bus travel\n was introduced between Washington and various places south of\n Alexandria, and the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. was\n chartered in 1929. It was fully owned by the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.\n and the Suburban Motor Coach Co. merged into the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Transportation Co. in March of the same year. In August 1929,\n the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. and the competing\n Richmond- Washington Motor Coaches (owned by the Greyhound\n Co.) merged to form the Richmond-Greyhound Lines, Inc. Service\n was soon expanded to reach from Washington to Norfolk. During\n the Depression years, the R.F.\u0026 P. struggled with reduced\n passenger and freight service revenues, challenges which the\n company tried to meet by reducing it's passenger fares as well\n as attempting to join the developing market for truck service\n business.","Starting in 1931 the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co.\n experimented with truck freight service between Richmond and\n Washington, but discontinued the operation due to lack of\n profits in 1939.","Traffic of passengers and freight reached a high during\n WWII, and considerable investments were made to modernize\n engines and rail yards. After 1945 passenger travel decreased\n steadily, and Amtrak finally serviced that part of the\n operation in 1970. With the foundation of the Richmond Holding\n Company in 1957 the R.F.\u0026 P. had started to pursue another\n business avenue. Although the R.F.\u0026 P. had always been\n involved in Real Estate deals, and was the sole stockholder of\n the Richmond Land Corp. (inc. 1901), it had done so only for\n the purpose of securing and developing land for the expansion\n of its rail service. Now the Real Estate and Land Development\n Business should become an enterprise in its own right. Other\n important development of the 1960's and 1970's were the\n opening of Bryan Park Terminal (1962), the purchase and\n subsequent development of the Dahlgreen Railroad line and\n adjacent properties (1964), and the move to the new Main\n Office building at Acca Yard (1976). At this point, the\n Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co. was dissolved, and Broad Street\n Station - no longer in usage - was sold to the Commonwealth of\n Virginia. By the early 1980's ownership of the\n Richmond-Washington Co. and with it of the R.F.\u0026 P. had\n changed: now the Commonwealth of Virginia, Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad, Southern Railway, and Chessie System Railroad all\n shared the capital stock. R.F.\u0026 P.'s most important rail\n freight connections at that time were Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad and Conrail. Despite continued modernization and\n collaboration with other carriers, earnings of the real estate\n branch outgrew those of the freight sector by the mid 1980's.\n Those changed realities let to a major company restructuring\n in 1988 with the founding of the R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation, a\n publicly owned, Virginia-based holding company that controlled\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and R.F.\u0026 P. Properties, a real\n estate investment, leasing and development company. Already\n before the reorganization, the CSX Corporation (formed through\n a merger of Chessie System and Seabord Coastline Industries in\n 1980), which owned the majority of the Richmond-Washington\n Co., and thus controlled the R.F.\u0026 P. Co., had been\n interested merging the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. entirely into its\n own enterprise. At this time the Commonwealth of Virginia,\n through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) still held a 20%\n interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. After one failed merger attempt\n in early 1990, CSX and the VRS, which owned about 27 % of\n R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation stock by now, came to the following\n agreement in August of 1991: the VRS, through its subsidiary\n Systems Holdings, acquired 99 percent of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation's shares. It then sold the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. to\n CSX Transportation, which fully merged it into its own railway\n line. This transaction factually ended the 157 year history of\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. The remaining part of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation, the Real Estate business came under the control\n of the VRS, and was subsequently sold to Commonwealth Atlantic\n Properties.","Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg Railway\n Co. Incorporated 1851 as Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg\n Road Co.; taken over by the Pennsylvania R.R. in 1870. Merged\n with the Alexandria \u0026 Washington R.Y.

Reels 2161-2177, List of Contents","The following is a brief outline of the R.F.\u0026 P.'s\n complex, 157 year history. The Company has been the subject of\n several publications, which should be consulted for more\n in-depths presentations:","Griffin, Jr., William E. \n One Hundred Fifty Years of History,\n Along the Richmond, Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac\n Railroad. Richmond: R.F.\u0026 P., 1984. \n Griffin, Jr., William E. \n Richmond, Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac\n Railroad, The Capital Cities Route. Lynchburg,\n Virginia, 1994. Mordecai, John B. \n A Brief History of the Richmond,\n Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac Railroad. Richmond, 1940. Prince, Richard E. \n The Richmond-Washington Line and\n Related Railroads. Millard, Neb.: Richard E. Prince,\n 1973.","The Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad\n (R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.) was incorporated by an Act of the General\n Assembly of Virginia on 25 February 1834. It was at the time\n the sixth railroad to be chartered in Virginia. The company's\n purpose was to provide rail service from Richmond to the\n Potomac River near Washington, D.C. In 1835 the General\n Assembly authorized the subscription to two fifths of the\n Company stock. The State was proportionally represented with\n two Directors out of five on the Company's Board. Throughout a\n large part of the company's history the State of Virginia\n guarded its interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. by prohibiting other\n railroads to parallel the route of the R.F.\u0026 P. In 1836\n the tracks from Richmond to South Anna were completed, in 1837\n the extension to Fredericksburg. Service for the Post Office\n began in 1838, increasing the line's traffic. In 1842\n construction of the line was finished up to Aquia Creek,\n eliminating the use of a stage coach. From Aquia Creek the\n Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat Co. provided the\n transportation to Washington. The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. bought\n half of the Steamer Co.'s stock in 1845. With the goal of an\n eventual all-rail connection between Richmond and Washington\n in mind, the Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg R.R. Co was\n incorporated in 1851. With the completion of its line to\n Quantico in 1872, a continuous rail connection from NC to\n Baltimore had been established. The Potomac R.R. Co. lines\n were completed the same year and provided connecting service\n between the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the A.\u0026 F. R.R. Co. For\n a few years, the new all-rail line was used alternating with\n the route that included the Potomac Steamboat Co., the\n successor of the Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat\n Co., until in 1877 the R.F.\u0026 P. terminated its steamboat\n contract and turned its shares back over to that Company.","During the Civil War, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. operated\n largely in the service of the Confederate Army. The damage\n inflicted to equipment, tracks, bridges and buildings was\n considerable.","In the mid 1880's the company prospered again. In 1887 the\n Richmond Byrd St. Station was opened to accommodate the\n increased traffic volume of the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. and the\n Richmond and Petersburg R.R. Co. (R.\u0026 P. R.R. Co.). In\n 1888 a timely freight service for fresh fruit and vegetables\n was inaugurated, a business that should grow fast and steadily\n well into the 20th century. The same year authorization for a\n branch line was granted to these two railroad companies, so\n the growing volume of freight could be directed away from the\n city.","The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R., traditionally a short line railroad,\n had always relied on agreements with other railroad lines\n providing service south of Richmond and north of Washington,\n and in 1900, after several smaller lines had been grouped\n together, those railroads were: Seaboard Air Line R.Y. (from\n Portsmouth and southeast), Atlantic Coast Line R.R. (south of\n Richmond) and the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. (from Quantico\n to Washington, controlled by the Pennsylvania R.R. Co.). In\n 1901, Seaboard Air Line R.Y., Atlantic Coast Line R.R., the\n Pennsylvania R.R., the Southern R.Y. Co., the Chesapeake and\n Ohio R.Y. Co., as well as the Baltimore and Ohio R.Y. Co.\n agreed to form the Richmond-Washington Co. That Company\n acquired the entire stock of the Washington Southern R.Y. Co.\n and the majority of R.F.\u0026 P.'s voting stock. The six\n partner would all be treated equally and have the same rights\n in the dealings with the R.F.\u0026 P. The R.F.\u0026 P. and\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under common management at\n his point, and operated jointly as the \"Richmond-Washington\n Line.\" For the next two decades the R.F.\u0026 P. kept\n expanding and modernizing at a rapid pace. The Richmond\n Terminal R.Y. Co. was chartered in 1916 with the purpose of\n constructing and operating a passenger terminal, and in 1919\n Broad St. passenger station (architect: John Russell Pope) was\n completed. R.F.\u0026 P. and Atlantic Coast Line R.R. both\n owned equal amounts of the Richmond Terminal Co.'s shares.","Starting in December 1917, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under Federal Control for 26\n months, and played an important role in the transportation of\n military personnel and equipment.","Three years later, in 1920, the Washington Southern R.Y.\n Co., which had been managed jointly with the R.F.\u0026 P.\n since 1901, was completely merged into the latter. A large\n freight terminal was added to the Acca Freight Yards in 1924,\n tracks were improved and cars and locomotives modernized. The\n growing competition of automobiles on shorter distances\n prompted the R.F.\u0026 P. in 1928 to halt its less and less\n efficient steam train service between Richmond and Ashland and\n to replace it with a passenger bus service. Thus the Suburban\n Motor Coach Co. was incorporated the same year, the R.F.\u0026\n P. R.R. being the main shareholder. Soon passenger bus travel\n was introduced between Washington and various places south of\n Alexandria, and the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. was\n chartered in 1929. It was fully owned by the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.\n and the Suburban Motor Coach Co. merged into the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Transportation Co. in March of the same year. In August 1929,\n the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. and the competing\n Richmond- Washington Motor Coaches (owned by the Greyhound\n Co.) merged to form the Richmond-Greyhound Lines, Inc. Service\n was soon expanded to reach from Washington to Norfolk. During\n the Depression years, the R.F.\u0026 P. struggled with reduced\n passenger and freight service revenues, challenges which the\n company tried to meet by reducing it's passenger fares as well\n as attempting to join the developing market for truck service\n business.","Starting in 1931 the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co.\n experimented with truck freight service between Richmond and\n Washington, but discontinued the operation due to lack of\n profits in 1939.","Traffic of passengers and freight reached a high during\n WWII, and considerable investments were made to modernize\n engines and rail yards. After 1945 passenger travel decreased\n steadily, and Amtrak finally serviced that part of the\n operation in 1970. With the foundation of the Richmond Holding\n Company in 1957 the R.F.\u0026 P. had started to pursue another\n business avenue. Although the R.F.\u0026 P. had always been\n involved in Real Estate deals, and was the sole stockholder of\n the Richmond Land Corp. (inc. 1901), it had done so only for\n the purpose of securing and developing land for the expansion\n of its rail service. Now the Real Estate and Land Development\n Business should become an enterprise in its own right. Other\n important development of the 1960's and 1970's were the\n opening of Bryan Park Terminal (1962), the purchase and\n subsequent development of the Dahlgreen Railroad line and\n adjacent properties (1964), and the move to the new Main\n Office building at Acca Yard (1976). At this point, the\n Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co. was dissolved, and Broad Street\n Station - no longer in usage - was sold to the Commonwealth of\n Virginia. By the early 1980's ownership of the\n Richmond-Washington Co. and with it of the R.F.\u0026 P. had\n changed: now the Commonwealth of Virginia, Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad, Southern Railway, and Chessie System Railroad all\n shared the capital stock. R.F.\u0026 P.'s most important rail\n freight connections at that time were Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad and Conrail. Despite continued modernization and\n collaboration with other carriers, earnings of the real estate\n branch outgrew those of the freight sector by the mid 1980's.\n Those changed realities let to a major company restructuring\n in 1988 with the founding of the R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation, a\n publicly owned, Virginia-based holding company that controlled\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and R.F.\u0026 P. Properties, a real\n estate investment, leasing and development company. Already\n before the reorganization, the CSX Corporation (formed through\n a merger of Chessie System and Seabord Coastline Industries in\n 1980), which owned the majority of the Richmond-Washington\n Co., and thus controlled the R.F.\u0026 P. Co., had been\n interested merging the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. entirely into its\n own enterprise. At this time the Commonwealth of Virginia,\n through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) still held a 20%\n interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. After one failed merger attempt\n in early 1990, CSX and the VRS, which owned about 27 % of\n R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation stock by now, came to the following\n agreement in August of 1991: the VRS, through its subsidiary\n Systems Holdings, acquired 99 percent of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation's shares. It then sold the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. to\n CSX Transportation, which fully merged it into its own railway\n line. This transaction factually ended the 157 year history of\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. The remaining part of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation, the Real Estate business came under the control\n of the VRS, and was subsequently sold to Commonwealth Atlantic\n Properties.","Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg Railway\n Co. Incorporated 1851 as Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg\n Road Co.; taken over by the Pennsylvania R.R. in 1870. Merged\n with the Alexandria \u0026 Washington R.Y.

R.R.) was incorporated by an Act of the General\n Assembly of Virginia on 25 February 1834. It was at the time\n the sixth railroad to be chartered in Virginia. The company's\n purpose was to provide rail service from Richmond to the\n Potomac River near Washington, D.C. In 1835 the General\n Assembly authorized the subscription to two fifths of the\n Company stock. The State was proportionally represented with\n two Directors out of five on the Company's Board. Throughout a\n large part of the company's history the State of Virginia\n guarded its interest in the R.F.\u0026amp; P. by prohibiting other\n railroads to parallel the route of the R.F.\u0026amp; P. In 1836\n the tracks from Richmond to South Anna were completed, in 1837\n the extension to Fredericksburg. Service for the Post Office\n began in 1838, increasing the line's traffic. In 1842\n construction of the line was finished up to Aquia Creek,\n eliminating the use of a stage coach. From Aquia Creek the\n Washington \u0026amp; Fredericksburg Steamboat Co. provided the\n transportation to Washington. The R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. bought\n half of the Steamer Co.'s stock in 1845. With the goal of an\n eventual all-rail connection between Richmond and Washington\n in mind, the Alexandria \u0026amp; Fredericksburg R.R. Co was\n incorporated in 1851. With the completion of its line to\n Quantico in 1872, a continuous rail connection from NC to\n Baltimore had been established. The Potomac R.R. Co. lines\n were completed the same year and provided connecting service\n between the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. and the A.\u0026amp; F. R.R. Co. For\n a few years, the new all-rail line was used alternating with\n the route that included the Potomac Steamboat Co., the\n successor of the Washington \u0026amp; Fredericksburg Steamboat\n Co., until in 1877 the R.F.\u0026amp; P. terminated its steamboat\n contract and turned its shares back over to that Company.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eDuring the Civil War, the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. operated\n largely in the service of the Confederate Army. The damage\n inflicted to equipment, tracks, bridges and buildings was\n considerable.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIn the mid 1880's the company prospered again. In 1887 the\n Richmond Byrd St. Station was opened to accommodate the\n increased traffic volume of the R.F.\u0026amp; P.R.R. Co. and the\n Richmond and Petersburg R.R. Co. (R.\u0026amp; P. R.R. Co.). In\n 1888 a timely freight service for fresh fruit and vegetables\n was inaugurated, a business that should grow fast and steadily\n well into the 20th century. The same year authorization for a\n branch line was granted to these two railroad companies, so\n the growing volume of freight could be directed away from the\n city.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R., traditionally a short line railroad,\n had always relied on agreements with other railroad lines\n providing service south of Richmond and north of Washington,\n and in 1900, after several smaller lines had been grouped\n together, those railroads were: Seaboard Air Line R.Y. (from\n Portsmouth and southeast), Atlantic Coast Line R.R. (south of\n Richmond) and the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. (from Quantico\n to Washington, controlled by the Pennsylvania R.R. Co.). In\n 1901, Seaboard Air Line R.Y., Atlantic Coast Line R.R., the\n Pennsylvania R.R., the Southern R.Y. Co., the Chesapeake and\n Ohio R.Y. Co., as well as the Baltimore and Ohio R.Y. Co.\n agreed to form the Richmond-Washington Co. That Company\n acquired the entire stock of the Washington Southern R.Y. Co.\n and the majority of R.F.\u0026amp; P.'s voting stock. The six\n partner would all be treated equally and have the same rights\n in the dealings with the R.F.\u0026amp; P. The R.F.\u0026amp; P. and\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under common management at\n his point, and operated jointly as the \"Richmond-Washington\n Line.\" For the next two decades the R.F.\u0026amp; P. kept\n expanding and modernizing at a rapid pace. The Richmond\n Terminal R.Y. Co. was chartered in 1916 with the purpose of\n constructing and operating a passenger terminal, and in 1919\n Broad St. passenger station (architect: John Russell Pope) was\n completed. R.F.\u0026amp; P. and Atlantic Coast Line R.R. both\n owned equal amounts of the Richmond Terminal Co.'s shares.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eStarting in December 1917, the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. and the\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under Federal Control for 26\n months, and played an important role in the transportation of\n military personnel and equipment.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThree years later, in 1920, the Washington Southern R.Y.\n Co., which had been managed jointly with the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n since 1901, was completely merged into the latter. A large\n freight terminal was added to the Acca Freight Yards in 1924,\n tracks were improved and cars and locomotives modernized. The\n growing competition of automobiles on shorter distances\n prompted the R.F.\u0026amp; P. in 1928 to halt its less and less\n efficient steam train service between Richmond and Ashland and\n to replace it with a passenger bus service. Thus the Suburban\n Motor Coach Co. was incorporated the same year, the R.F.\u0026amp;\n P. R.R. being the main shareholder. Soon passenger bus travel\n was introduced between Washington and various places south of\n Alexandria, and the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Transportation Co. was\n chartered in 1929. It was fully owned by the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R.\n and the Suburban Motor Coach Co. merged into the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n Transportation Co. in March of the same year. In August 1929,\n the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Transportation Co. and the competing\n Richmond- Washington Motor Coaches (owned by the Greyhound\n Co.) merged to form the Richmond-Greyhound Lines, Inc. Service\n was soon expanded to reach from Washington to Norfolk. During\n the Depression years, the R.F.\u0026amp; P. struggled with reduced\n passenger and freight service revenues, challenges which the\n company tried to meet by reducing it's passenger fares as well\n as attempting to join the developing market for truck service\n business.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eStarting in 1931 the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Transportation Co.\n experimented with truck freight service between Richmond and\n Washington, but discontinued the operation due to lack of\n profits in 1939.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eTraffic of passengers and freight reached a high during\n WWII, and considerable investments were made to modernize\n engines and rail yards. After 1945 passenger travel decreased\n steadily, and Amtrak finally serviced that part of the\n operation in 1970. With the foundation of the Richmond Holding\n Company in 1957 the R.F.\u0026amp; P. had started to pursue another\n business avenue. Although the R.F.\u0026amp; P. had always been\n involved in Real Estate deals, and was the sole stockholder of\n the Richmond Land Corp. (inc. 1901), it had done so only for\n the purpose of securing and developing land for the expansion\n of its rail service. Now the Real Estate and Land Development\n Business should become an enterprise in its own right. Other\n important development of the 1960's and 1970's were the\n opening of Bryan Park Terminal (1962), the purchase and\n subsequent development of the Dahlgreen Railroad line and\n adjacent properties (1964), and the move to the new Main\n Office building at Acca Yard (1976). At this point, the\n Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co. was dissolved, and Broad Street\n Station - no longer in usage - was sold to the Commonwealth of\n Virginia. By the early 1980's ownership of the\n Richmond-Washington Co. and with it of the R.F.\u0026amp; P. had\n changed: now the Commonwealth of Virginia, Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad, Southern Railway, and Chessie System Railroad all\n shared the capital stock. R.F.\u0026amp; P.'s most important rail\n freight connections at that time were Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad and Conrail. Despite continued modernization and\n collaboration with other carriers, earnings of the real estate\n branch outgrew those of the freight sector by the mid 1980's.\n Those changed realities let to a major company restructuring\n in 1988 with the founding of the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Corporation, a\n publicly owned, Virginia-based holding company that controlled\n the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. and R.F.\u0026amp; P. Properties, a real\n estate investment, leasing and development company. Already\n before the reorganization, the CSX Corporation (formed through\n a merger of Chessie System and Seabord Coastline Industries in\n 1980), which owned the majority of the Richmond-Washington\n Co., and thus controlled the R.F.\u0026amp; P. Co., had been\n interested merging the R.F.\u0026amp; P.R.R. Co. entirely into its\n own enterprise. At this time the Commonwealth of Virginia,\n through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) still held a 20%\n interest in the R.F.\u0026amp; P. After one failed merger attempt\n in early 1990, CSX and the VRS, which owned about 27 % of\n R.F.\u0026amp; P. Corporation stock by now, came to the following\n agreement in August of 1991: the VRS, through its subsidiary\n Systems Holdings, acquired 99 percent of the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n Corporation's shares. It then sold the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. to\n CSX Transportation, which fully merged it into its own railway\n line. This transaction factually ended the 157 year history of\n the R.F.\u0026amp; P. R.R. The remaining part of the R.F.\u0026amp; P.\n Corporation, the Real Estate business came under the control\n of the VRS, and was subsequently sold to Commonwealth Atlantic\n Properties.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e\u003cemph render=\"bold\"\u003eAlexandria \u0026amp; Fredericksburg Railway\n Co.\u003c/emph\u003e\u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eIncorporated 1851 as Alexandria \u0026amp; Fredericksburg\n Road Co.; taken over by the Pennsylvania R.R. in 1870.

The Company has been the subject of\n several publications, which should be consulted for more\n in-depths presentations:","Griffin, Jr., William E. \n One Hundred Fifty Years of History,\n Along the Richmond, Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac\n Railroad. Richmond: R.F.\u0026 P., 1984. \n Griffin, Jr., William E. \n Richmond, Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac\n Railroad, The Capital Cities Route. Lynchburg,\n Virginia, 1994. Mordecai, John B. \n A Brief History of the Richmond,\n Fredericksburg \u0026 Potomac Railroad. Richmond, 1940. Prince, Richard E. \n The Richmond-Washington Line and\n Related Railroads. Millard, Neb.: Richard E. Prince,\n 1973.","The Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad\n (R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.) was incorporated by an Act of the General\n Assembly of Virginia on 25 February 1834. It was at the time\n the sixth railroad to be chartered in Virginia. The company's\n purpose was to provide rail service from Richmond to the\n Potomac River near Washington, D.C. In 1835 the General\n Assembly authorized the subscription to two fifths of the\n Company stock. The State was proportionally represented with\n two Directors out of five on the Company's Board. Throughout a\n large part of the company's history the State of Virginia\n guarded its interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. by prohibiting other\n railroads to parallel the route of the R.F.\u0026 P. In 1836\n the tracks from Richmond to South Anna were completed, in 1837\n the extension to Fredericksburg. Service for the Post Office\n began in 1838, increasing the line's traffic. In 1842\n construction of the line was finished up to Aquia Creek,\n eliminating the use of a stage coach. From Aquia Creek the\n Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat Co. provided the\n transportation to Washington. The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. bought\n half of the Steamer Co.'s stock in 1845. With the goal of an\n eventual all-rail connection between Richmond and Washington\n in mind, the Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg R.R. Co was\n incorporated in 1851. With the completion of its line to\n Quantico in 1872, a continuous rail connection from NC to\n Baltimore had been established. The Potomac R.R. Co. lines\n were completed the same year and provided connecting service\n between the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the A.\u0026 F. R.R. Co. For\n a few years, the new all-rail line was used alternating with\n the route that included the Potomac Steamboat Co., the\n successor of the Washington \u0026 Fredericksburg Steamboat\n Co., until in 1877 the R.F.\u0026 P. terminated its steamboat\n contract and turned its shares back over to that Company.","During the Civil War, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. operated\n largely in the service of the Confederate Army. The damage\n inflicted to equipment, tracks, bridges and buildings was\n considerable.","In the mid 1880's the company prospered again. In 1887 the\n Richmond Byrd St. Station was opened to accommodate the\n increased traffic volume of the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. and the\n Richmond and Petersburg R.R. Co. (R.\u0026 P. R.R. Co.). In\n 1888 a timely freight service for fresh fruit and vegetables\n was inaugurated, a business that should grow fast and steadily\n well into the 20th century. The same year authorization for a\n branch line was granted to these two railroad companies, so\n the growing volume of freight could be directed away from the\n city.","The R.F.\u0026 P. R.R., traditionally a short line railroad,\n had always relied on agreements with other railroad lines\n providing service south of Richmond and north of Washington,\n and in 1900, after several smaller lines had been grouped\n together, those railroads were: Seaboard Air Line R.Y. (from\n Portsmouth and southeast), Atlantic Coast Line R.R. (south of\n Richmond) and the Washington Southern R.Y. Co. (from Quantico\n to Washington, controlled by the Pennsylvania R.R. Co.). In\n 1901, Seaboard Air Line R.Y., Atlantic Coast Line R.R., the\n Pennsylvania R.R., the Southern R.Y. Co., the Chesapeake and\n Ohio R.Y. Co., as well as the Baltimore and Ohio R.Y. Co.\n agreed to form the Richmond-Washington Co. That Company\n acquired the entire stock of the Washington Southern R.Y. Co.\n and the majority of R.F.\u0026 P.'s voting stock. The six\n partner would all be treated equally and have the same rights\n in the dealings with the R.F.\u0026 P. The R.F.\u0026 P. and\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under common management at\n his point, and operated jointly as the \"Richmond-Washington\n Line.\" For the next two decades the R.F.\u0026 P. kept\n expanding and modernizing at a rapid pace. The Richmond\n Terminal R.Y. Co. was chartered in 1916 with the purpose of\n constructing and operating a passenger terminal, and in 1919\n Broad St. passenger station (architect: John Russell Pope) was\n completed. R.F.\u0026 P. and Atlantic Coast Line R.R. both\n owned equal amounts of the Richmond Terminal Co.'s shares.","Starting in December 1917, the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and the\n Washington Southern R.Y. Co. came under Federal Control for 26\n months, and played an important role in the transportation of\n military personnel and equipment.","Three years later, in 1920, the Washington Southern R.Y.\n Co., which had been managed jointly with the R.F.\u0026 P.\n since 1901, was completely merged into the latter. A large\n freight terminal was added to the Acca Freight Yards in 1924,\n tracks were improved and cars and locomotives modernized. The\n growing competition of automobiles on shorter distances\n prompted the R.F.\u0026 P. in 1928 to halt its less and less\n efficient steam train service between Richmond and Ashland and\n to replace it with a passenger bus service. Thus the Suburban\n Motor Coach Co. was incorporated the same year, the R.F.\u0026\n P. R.R. being the main shareholder. Soon passenger bus travel\n was introduced between Washington and various places south of\n Alexandria, and the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. was\n chartered in 1929. It was fully owned by the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R.\n and the Suburban Motor Coach Co. merged into the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Transportation Co. in March of the same year. In August 1929,\n the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co. and the competing\n Richmond- Washington Motor Coaches (owned by the Greyhound\n Co.) merged to form the Richmond-Greyhound Lines, Inc. Service\n was soon expanded to reach from Washington to Norfolk. During\n the Depression years, the R.F.\u0026 P. struggled with reduced\n passenger and freight service revenues, challenges which the\n company tried to meet by reducing it's passenger fares as well\n as attempting to join the developing market for truck service\n business.","Starting in 1931 the R.F.\u0026 P. Transportation Co.\n experimented with truck freight service between Richmond and\n Washington, but discontinued the operation due to lack of\n profits in 1939.","Traffic of passengers and freight reached a high during\n WWII, and considerable investments were made to modernize\n engines and rail yards. After 1945 passenger travel decreased\n steadily, and Amtrak finally serviced that part of the\n operation in 1970. With the foundation of the Richmond Holding\n Company in 1957 the R.F.\u0026 P. had started to pursue another\n business avenue. Although the R.F.\u0026 P. had always been\n involved in Real Estate deals, and was the sole stockholder of\n the Richmond Land Corp. (inc. 1901), it had done so only for\n the purpose of securing and developing land for the expansion\n of its rail service. Now the Real Estate and Land Development\n Business should become an enterprise in its own right. Other\n important development of the 1960's and 1970's were the\n opening of Bryan Park Terminal (1962), the purchase and\n subsequent development of the Dahlgreen Railroad line and\n adjacent properties (1964), and the move to the new Main\n Office building at Acca Yard (1976). At this point, the\n Richmond Terminal R.Y. Co. was dissolved, and Broad Street\n Station - no longer in usage - was sold to the Commonwealth of\n Virginia. By the early 1980's ownership of the\n Richmond-Washington Co. and with it of the R.F.\u0026 P. had\n changed: now the Commonwealth of Virginia, Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad, Southern Railway, and Chessie System Railroad all\n shared the capital stock. R.F.\u0026 P.'s most important rail\n freight connections at that time were Seaboard Coast Line\n Railroad and Conrail. Despite continued modernization and\n collaboration with other carriers, earnings of the real estate\n branch outgrew those of the freight sector by the mid 1980's.\n Those changed realities let to a major company restructuring\n in 1988 with the founding of the R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation, a\n publicly owned, Virginia-based holding company that controlled\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. and R.F.\u0026 P. Properties, a real\n estate investment, leasing and development company. Already\n before the reorganization, the CSX Corporation (formed through\n a merger of Chessie System and Seabord Coastline Industries in\n 1980), which owned the majority of the Richmond-Washington\n Co., and thus controlled the R.F.\u0026 P. Co., had been\n interested merging the R.F.\u0026 P.R.R. Co. entirely into its\n own enterprise. At this time the Commonwealth of Virginia,\n through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) still held a 20%\n interest in the R.F.\u0026 P. After one failed merger attempt\n in early 1990, CSX and the VRS, which owned about 27 % of\n R.F.\u0026 P. Corporation stock by now, came to the following\n agreement in August of 1991: the VRS, through its subsidiary\n Systems Holdings, acquired 99 percent of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation's shares. It then sold the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. to\n CSX Transportation, which fully merged it into its own railway\n line. This transaction factually ended the 157 year history of\n the R.F.\u0026 P. R.R. The remaining part of the R.F.\u0026 P.\n Corporation, the Real Estate business came under the control\n of the VRS, and was subsequently sold to Commonwealth Atlantic\n Properties.","Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg Railway\n Co. Incorporated 1851 as Alexandria \u0026 Fredericksburg\n Road Co.; taken over by the Pennsylvania R.R. in 1870. Merged\n with the Alexandria \u0026 Washington R.Y.
