The Washington and Old Dominion was still a going operation when I lived in Arlington. The tracks ran through the woods behind my house, crossing Carlyn Springs Road. It was a light freight operation using small diesels. The W&OD originally had been built as an interurban line providing passenger and light freight service, and I think it used to run out to the carousel at Great Falls-- though I might be mistaken. It's western terminus was the little town of Snicker's Gap up in the mountains, but the W&OD got them to change the name to Bluemont. Somewhere I have a stash of very, very flat pennies that were run over by the mighty locomotives of the W%OD.
