I am working near the Pepco power plant in Alexandria Virginia and remember the coal delivery by rail. It appears the plant is not operational. Does any one know? The tracks off the spur are rusty so it indicates no activity. There are box cars further south at the Robinson terminal. Does any one have any idea when the trains pass along that spur, as I have not seen any during the day.
Thanks for any info.

Plant closed a few years ago. I believe the city is trying to figure out what to do with the property. I saw a development plan of parks, waterfront dining/shopping, etc that looked nice. Not sure if that is still a plan but it was on the drawing board.
According to a photo on Railpictures.net, the ex-B&O EMD switcher that worked the plant is still on the property with a cloudy future.
