After crossing over the Potomac from VA via the Chain Bridge, and and turning right (south), upon reaching Arizona Ave. I found what looks like a truss bridge, obviously railroad, crossing the highway and the C & O Canal. The row proceeds further south on an embankment; north of the bridge it joins the side of the hill, and is now used as a bike path.
Anybody know the history of this line? I assume it's B & O, but I'm curious about the opening and closing dates, whether it was single or double line, and what was its function (commuter, coal, general industry).
Thanks, Sam
