PETERSBURG, Va. — The Army has given the green light to moving soldiers by rail between Fort Lee and Fort A.P. Hill.
Soldiers from Fort Lee routinely travel by bus for training at Fort A.P. Hill, a 150-mile roundtrip.
Fort Lee spokesman Keith Desbois told The Progress-Index of Petersburg that details, including purchase of rail cars and locomotives, are still being worked out on the switch from bus to rail. Virginia Railway Express officials have received permission to sell rail cars and locomotives to the Army.
