Notes

Note 1: 2022.02.20 — Scott's Addition industrial track is no more, having been replaced by retail shops. Going south on the Peek-a-boo track is even a dead-end where the rails under Arthur Ashe/The Boulevard have been kicked aside to prevent access to the Science Museum of Virginia which occupies the former Broad Street Station. This lead also used to go straight into Interbake Foods occupying the Famous Foods of Virginia bakery (“Home of FFV Cookies and Crackers”), but that track has been removed. When you're sitting at the McDonald's drive-through order board look to the right and you'll see the small shed where cars were spotted.

Note 2: 2014.01.20 — Seaboard Junction was the demarcation point under The Boulevard overhead highway where Seaboard Air Line's Bellwood subdivision entered RF&P Acca Yard territory. The SRN milepost prefix denotes Seaboard heritage while the CFP prefix is used for former RF&P track.

Track #1 was known as the RF&P Thoroughfare. Track #2 and I guess the abandoned third industrial track were known as the Hermitage industrial tracks serving numerous customers along the upper Bellwood sub. The current division point is at Hermitage Road which is CFP0.5 = SRN3.5 with signals protecting the crossover 1 to 2 southbound. I guess this makes CFP0.0 = SRN3.0 but that lies on the Bellwood sub where CFP prefixes are not used; that's just an administrative curiosity.
