THE BOLD VISION

The Shenandoah Rail Corridor will be a multi-use transportation solution by which a recreational trail will be constructed within a re-activated railroad right-of-way. 

It's called "Rails-
WITH-Trails".

RE-IMAGINE

  • Constructing a recreational trail within existing railroad right-of-way

  • Revive our historic track bed and bridges to full operation

  • Create a new popular form of outdoor recreation; railbiking 

RE-VITALIZE

  • Introducing a four-season excursion train experience

  • Competitive short-line rail service in an underserved agricultural community

  • Removing 4,000+ trucks from our congested Valley highways 

RE-EMPOWER

  • Harnessing the combined power of agriculture and tourism

  • Investing in our infrastructure for tomorrow

  • Preserving our Valley's rail heritage, economic future, and scenic beauty

WHO WE ARE

We are a coalition of local businesses and community groups advocating for excursion and freight rail service to boost tourism, jobs, and revenue in the Shenandoah Valley.
