Editing Chesapeake, Virginia (section)

====Rail====
Five [[railroad]]s currently pass through portions of Chesapeake and handle some intermodal traffic at port facilities on Hampton Roads and navigable portions of several of its tributary rivers. The two major [[Class 1 railroad]]s are [[CSX Transportation]] and [[Norfolk Southern]], joined by three [[short line railroad]]s.

Chesapeake is located on a potential line for high-speed passenger rail service between Richmond and [[South Hampton Roads]] which is being studied by the [[Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation]]. A new suburban passenger station near Bowers Hill would potentially be included to supplement a terminal in downtown Norfolk.
