About BlueRidge-RailTrail.org
In 1997, a small, enthusiastic group of citizens from Amherst and Nelson counties in Virginia formed a grass-roots organization for the sole purpose of converting an abandoned railway bed to a hiking trail. The Virginia Blue Ridge Railway Trail Foundation, Inc. was thus established taking its name from the railway upon which the trail would be built - the longest running, commercially successful short-line in American history.
