Re: FRA Jurisdiction outside of National Network

Yes, but we never saw regular freight cars on revenue rapid transit trackage. This is beyond physical track connections, which we always had. Even WMATA has 2 of them.

Technically speaking WMATA has none. The one at Greenbelt has its rails disconnected. When connected it was primarily used for taking delivery of welded rail. It was used in 2012 to take delivery of the track geometry vehicle.

WMATA had 3 during its history, The one at Berentwood was severed when the Chessie System decommissioned and removed the rail from Eckington Yard, the one in Alexandria was severed when the Southern Railway closed their Alexandria facility and sold the land.
