Description:  N&W used it until December 1964. The C&O until April 1957, IIRC. The Southern until late 1931. Freight service used the tunnel (behind the two blue dumpsters) until November 3, 1970, when the track you see was diverted to the left to avoid the tunnel.

Description:  The track veering off to the left is the rarely used NS connection with CSX's James River S-D. NS has trackage rights over CSX from Lynchburg to Balcony Falls, VA, but hasn't exercised them in a VERY long time.
