Below are links to sites that may be of interest to fans of the Piedmont Sub. If you have a site that should be listed here, please let me know.

Railroads Associated with the Piedmont Sub

Chesapeake & Ohio Historical Society.	The COHS is an excellent source of information on the C&O. The Society publishes a monthly magazine, maintains an archives and a collection of C&O equipment in Clifton Forge, and holds an annual convention. If you’re interested in the C&O, I’d definitely recommend joining. I've been a member since 1984.
Chessie System Historical Society	The Chessie System was formed by the association of the C&O, the B&O, and the WM. The first time I ever got close to the Gordonsville freight house, the Ches-C was painted on the doors. Definitely a Society for those interested in the Piedmont.
CSX Transportation	The corporate Web site for the company that now owns the Piedmont Sub.
Buckingham Branch Railroad	Starting in December 2004 the Buckingham Branch leased the Piedmont Sub from CSX.
Central Virginia Railfan Page	Information on CSX’s Piedmont Sub can be found at this site. In addition, there are photos and information on all the railroads in the central Virginia area. This is a great site, but it hasn’t been updated in a very long time.
Piedmont Railroaders	The Piedmont Railroaders model both the railroads in the Piedmont area and this page covers some history of the Orange & Alexandria line to Gordonsville.
Old Dominion Chapter of the NRHS	Based in Richmond, the Old Dominion chapter would be interested in the C&O’s Piedmont Sub. They recently published a book on Virginia railroad stations that included several from the Piedmont Subdivision.
Rivanna Chapter of the NRHS	The Rivanna Chapter is located in Charlottesville, the western end of the Piedmont Sub.
Rails in Virginia	Jeff Hawkins’s site. Lots of contemporary photos and some great info.

Township Sites

Several of the towns along the right-of-way have their own Web pages. The ones I’ve found are:

Louisa	The town site for Louisa.
Mineral	The town site for Mineral.
Louisa County	The Louisa County site.
Gordonsville	The town site for Gordonsville.

Other Sites of Interest

Exchange Hotel	Historic Gordonsville maintains an informative site on the Exchange Hotel.

Links to other C&O-themed model railroads.

These sites should be of interest to anyone with a general love of railroads. Some are huge sites with links to all things railroad, others provide links to sites specific to a single line.
