Color screenshot from Apple Maps showing Radford University in the lower left, a huge blue curve of the New River, the huge Virginia Tech golf course in the upper right, and the railroad bridge drawing a straight line between them. Downtown Radford runs along the main road in the lower left between the University and the green river floodplain marked “Donald N Dedman Center”

Something I often think about when I visit the #NRV is the disused railroad bridge across the New River between Radford University and the Virginia Tech golf course. I recognize that they are separate and competing athletics organizations and it is always hard […]

I’ve been a pretty lax #BikeTooter member thanks to 1. Charlottesville hilly 2. Charlottesville hot and 3. Charlottesville humid. I’ve been relaxing in the #NewRiverValley and enjoying the tons and tons of wonderful bike trails along the water here. I am deeply envious! We have a lot of work to […]

Southward and bound, down to Appalachia for the weekend. #Roanoke #NewRiverValley #weekendtrip #roadtrip

Invasive Species & Restoration Community Day = SUCCESS! 🥳

Over 130 people registered for our field workshops and an estimated 150 people came to the partner meet n’ greet at Rising Silo Brewery. It was inspiring to see so many new faces!

Amtrak’s extension to Christiansburg, Va., will use Norfolk Southern’s N-Line (shown in yellow), instead of the V-Line (in blue) as was originally planned. Virginia Passenger Rail Authority * * * CHRISTIANSBURG, Va. — Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin led the list of officials on hand Thursday (April 24, 2025) for groundbreaking on the New River Valley Rail Project, which will allow extension of Amtrak service from Roanoke, Va., to Christiansburg. When that service begins, it will be the first time the New River Valley has had passenger service since 1979. “We are here today because people came to the table and worked together to execute a new and dramatically better deal — one that accelerates the return of passenger rail service to the New River Valley years earlier, on a better line, and at a much lower cost to Virginia’s taxpayers — than the one I inherited,” Youngkin said at the event, according to a press release. “I look forward to all that this station will do to support and grow such an important region of the Commonwealth.” The groundbreaking follows a deal announced last summer in which the state agreed to buy the state’s former Southern Railway line between Alexandria, Va., and Manassas, Va., while rescinding an earlier agreement to purchase 28 miles of former Virginia Railway trackage west of Roanoke, Va., into the New River Valley [see “Virginia, Norfolk Southern greenlight …,” _Trains_ News Wire, Aug. 28, 2024]. Studies had determined it could have cost up to $1 billion to prepare the route to reach Christiansburg and precluded eventual extension to Bristol, Va. Instead, the project launched Thursday will include service on the original Norfolk & Western line to Christianburg, where a historic station will be renovated and a new platform built, along with a parking lot and access roads. Work will also include an Amtrak layover facility 10 miles away in Radford, Va.; and track and signal improvements. The project is estimated to cost $265.4 million. Preliminary work began in February but full construction will commence this spring. Service is projected to begin in 2027, with trips taking 50 minutes between Christiansburg and Roanoke and about six hours between Christiansburg and Washington, D.C. “The groundbreaking of the New River Valley Project represents what can be achieved through strong partnerships,” said Virginia Passenger Rail Authority Executive Director DJ Stadtler. “This project would not be possible without the shared vision of providing Virginians with a rail alternative.” Said Jennifer Mitchell, Amtrak executive vice president of strategy and planning, ““This groundbreaking is a critical milestone in the Transforming Rail in Virginia project that will ultimately increase rail service in the Commonwealth.” Additional details on the project are available at the VPRA website. Video from the event is available here. Service on the VRPA’s Roanoke corridor began with a single round trip between Lynchburg, Va., and Washington in 2009 and was subsequently extended to Ronoke, with a second trip added. Ridership has grown from just over 100,000 in 2009 to more than 343,000 in 2024.
