The Virginia Railway Express (VRE) is extending its Operating and Access agreement with CSX Transportation (CSX) for one more year, but the deal may not go much further than June 2021.
This 2011 agreement allows VRE commuter trains to use the tracks between Fredericksburg and Washington, D.C. and was set to expire by the end of this month. VRE uses railways that are owned by CSX, and similar agreements have been in place between the two organizations since 1994.
VRE has a similar agreement with Norfolk Southern railroad in order to run trains on the system's Manassas line, between the Manassas Regional Airport and Washington, D.C.

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
