The Washington Post of Friday, 10/1, had an article covering the closing of the power plant on Alexandria's Potomac water front. Plant is to close prior to October, 2012, a move long sought by the City of Alexandria. This will probably put an end to NS operations east of Van Dorn St. Article also stated that Robinson Terminal (owned by the Wash Post) and railroad tracks would remain, but intimated that they would be next on the hit list. The City wants all of the river front property for public space and trail purposes.
Not sure what is left into Van Dorn, but the coal for the Pepco plant was a major shipper.
