Welcome to the Piedmont Subdivision of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. The Piedmont Sub began in Richmond and extended west to Charlottesville through Hanover, Louisa, Orange, and Albemarle Counties. Throughout much of its life the Piedmont Sub was primarily a passenger line and the C&O’s finest passenger trains - The George Washington, the Fast Flying Virginian, and the Sportsman - polished the rails of the Piedmont Sub. The line did, however, generate some rural agricultural traffic.
