This is the home page for the Winchester, Paston, and Portsmouth Rwy.
Corp.
The WP&P is a fictional railroad, as modeled by Michael R.
Rountree. Begun in 1896 as the Paston Valley Lines and
dependent on its mainline connection to the Baltimore & Ohio,
the line eventually grew across the West Virginia / VA border to reach
the town of Winchester and then a connection with the Norfolk &
Western beyond. Ultimately, following reorganization under
the new WP&P name, it reached Portsmouth, VA. The
line met its "demise" in 1967, when at long last the major shareholder
N&W finally completed its takeover. The north-south
line between Winchester and Portsmouth was abandoned, but the
coal-productive line west from Winchester was preserved as a branch and
as a bridge route to the B&O. The route is modeled as
it would be in 1971, with a heavy N&W influence but with the
remnants of WP&P equipment in evidence.
