Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad
The Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad (reporting mark RFP) was a railroad connecting Richmond, Virginia, to Washington, D.C. It is now the RF&P Subdivision of the CSX Transportation system.
The RF&P was a bridge line, with a slogan of "Linking North & South," on a system that stretched about 113 miles. Until around 1965 RF&P originated less than 5% of its freight tonnage, probably less than any other Class I railroad. For much of its existence the RF&P connected with the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and Seaboard Air Line Railroad at Richmond. At Alexandria and through trackage rights to Union Station in Washington, D.C., connections were made with the Pennsylvania Railroad, Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Southern Railway. It connected to the Washington and Old Dominion Railroad at Potomac Yard and interchanged with the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway at Doswell. It and the former Conrail properties are the only CSX lines to have cab signal requirements on their entire system.

The RF&P Railroad's Odd Operations
The Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad was a bridge line transporting freight for railroads like the Chesapeake & Ohio and Seaboard Coast Line. It wasn't a very big railroad, only spanning 113 miles from Richmond, Virginia to the United States' capital at Washington D.C. Within their trackage however, were some interesting operations unlike any other railroad of the time. In this video, I talk about 3 unique operating practices on the RF&P Railroad.

All Aboard! The History of the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad
The Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad was the sixth railroad to be chartered in the commonwealth, receiving exclusive rights from the General Assembly to connect Richmond and Fredericksburg to the Potomac River steamboat lines. RF&P played a key role in the Civil War and World War II, after which it modernized from steam engines to diesel locomotives. Over the course of its 157-year history the company acquired significant amounts of property along its route, including a number of acres in Henrico County — land that is now home to Glen Allen Stadium at RF&P Park. Though its trains no longer run through the heart of Virginia, the RF&P remains embedded in the history of the communities it touched and in the imagination of the people it served.

CSX Heritage: Locomotive 1836 Honoring the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad
Another locomotive is joining the CSX heritage lineup! Our tenth design commemorates the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad, chartered in 1836. The RF&P merged with Washington Southern in 1920 to form the Richmond-Washington Company which later became part of Conrail, and ultimately CSX. CSX 1836 will carry the RF&P colors across our network, reinforcing our #ONECSX team’s pride in the almost 200-year history of our railroad.

EASTERN RAILROAD PERILS-RF&P, SEABOARD, CHESSIE AND MORE...
Fascinating color films of the RF&P, Seaboard, Chessie and early Amtrak in the 1970's into the 1980's! The Richmond Fredericksburg & Potomac, or RF&P, was a 113-mile long double-tracked bridge line that neatly linked northern and southern roads together. This presentation brings the last 20-years of that roads independence to your screen with GPs, F-Units and E-units! The 1970s became an especially difficult time for many railroads. The bankruptcies, and little-known "could-have-been" mergers, of that era are explained. This was the virtual "minefield" that Chessie and the Seaboard had to operate in. They both emerged in good shape for their eventual merger into the CSX. Scenes from our movie "Chessie and Seaboard Hall of Fame" available at www.cspmovies.com

Fascinating color films of the RF&P, Seaboard, Chessie and early Amtrak in the 1970's into the 1980's!
The Richmond Fredericksburg & Potomac, or RF&P, was a 113-mile long double-tracked bridge line that neatly linked northern and southern roads together. This presentation brings the last 20-years of that roads independence to your screen with GPs, F-Units and E-units!
The 1970s became an especially difficult time for many railroads. The bankruptcies, and little-known "could-have-been" mergers, of that era are explained. This was the virtual "minefield" that Chessie and the Seaboard had to operate in. They both emerged in good shape for their eventual merger into the CSX.

The Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad was a bridge line transporting freight for railroads like the Chesapeake & Ohio and Seaboard Coast Line. It wasn't a very big railroad, only spanning 113 miles from Richmond, Virginia to the United States' capital at Washington D.C. Within their trackage however, were some interesting operations unlike any other railroad of the time. In this video, I talk about 3 unique operating practices on the RF&P Railroad.

The Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad was the sixth railroad to be chartered in the commonwealth, receiving exclusive rights from the General Assembly to connect Richmond and Fredericksburg to the Potomac River steamboat lines. RF&P played a key role in the Civil War and World War II, after which it modernized from steam engines to diesel locomotives. Over the course of its 157-year history the company acquired significant amounts of property along its route, including a number of acres in Henrico County — land that is now home to Glen Allen Stadium at RF&P Park. Though its trains no longer run through the heart of Virginia, the RF&P remains embedded in the history of the communities it touched and in the imagination of the people it served.

Another locomotive is joining the CSX heritage lineup! Our tenth design commemorates the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad, chartered in 1836. The RF&P merged with Washington Southern in 1920 to form the Richmond-Washington Company which later became part of Conrail, and ultimately CSX. CSX 1836 will carry the RF&P colors across our network, reinforcing our #ONECSX team’s pride in the almost 200-year history of our railroad.

Fascinating color films of the RF&P, Seaboard, Chessie and early Amtrak in the 1970's into the 1980's!
The Richmond Fredericksburg & Potomac, or RF&P, was a 113-mile long double-tracked bridge line that neatly linked northern and southern roads together. This presentation brings the last 20-years of that roads independence to your screen with GPs, F-Units and E-units!
The 1970s became an especially difficult time for many railroads. The bankruptcies, and little-known "could-have-been" mergers, of that era are explained. This was the virtual "minefield" that Chessie and the Seaboard had to operate in. They both emerged in good shape for their eventual merger into the CSX.

Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad
The Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad (reporting mark RFP) was a railroad connecting Richmond, Virginia, to Washington, D.C. It is now the RF&P Subdivision of the CSX Transportation system.
The RF&P was a bridge line, with a slogan of "Linking North & South," on a system that stretched about 113 miles. Until around 1965 RF&P originated less than 5% of its freight tonnage, probably less than any other Class I railroad. For much of its existence the RF&P connected with the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and Seaboard Air Line Railroad at Richmond. At Alexandria and through trackage rights to Union Station in Washington, D.C., connections were made with the Pennsylvania Railroad, Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Southern Railway. It connected to the Washington and Old Dominion Railroad at Potomac Yard and interchanged with the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway at Doswell. It and the former Conrail properties are the only CSX lines to have cab signal requirements on their entire system.
