Hey All,
So today I was taking the Metro south across the Potomac, and as I was watching the rail bridge to see if I could catch any Amtrak trains noticed something that I hadn't noticed before. There looked to be old poles/wires/insulators from what looked to be a catenary system that had existed there previously. I was wondering if any of you knew anything about this; I've tried to do some research about who owned these tracks before CSX, and it seems that the tracks south of WAS through ALX have had multiple owners, so if anyone here could help shed some light on this question I would much appreciate it.
Thanks!
