C&O Trackage Rights over the N&W between Glen Jean (Waverly), and Valley Crossing (Columbus), Ohio

[NW Mailing List]

One of the longest stretches of parallel track is the ATSF / D&RGW Joint line between Denver and Pueblo CO.  Initially mandated in 1918 by the USRA, it still is in use by the UP and BNSF as joint trackage more than 100 years later.
