short-line railroad
located in
Northern Virginia
. Its oldest line extended from
Alexandria
on the
Potomac River
northwest to
Bluemont
at the foot of the
Blue Ridge Mountains
near
Snickers Gap
, not far from the boundary line between
Virginia
and

railroad's
route largely paralleled the routes of the Potomac River and the present

(VA Route 7).
