No train cancellations are anticipated despite the projected snow. Severe icy conditions would trigger "S Schedule."
With a wintry mix in the Friday forecast, Northern Virginians are preparing for Round 2. The Virginia Railway Express is expected to run on a regular schedule Friday afternoon despicte the forecast. The National Weather Service predicts a 90 percent chance of snow Friday in Lorton with a high of 26 degrees. "We don't anticipate canceling any trains," said a VRE operator.

School is out for the summer, but the Laurel Hill Titans and Lorton Station Seahawks are ready to dive into swim season; both have growing teams and hope to see improvements in skill, time and wins this summer. Kathleen Winston, swim coach for 16 years, coaches the Laurel Hill Titans, a Division 14 team of the Northern Virginia Swim League.

Today air travel, Interstate highways and high-speed trains help make holiday travel a little easier than it was in the past. One mode of travel in this country, railroads, goes back more than 200 years. Back then, the tracks were short, but they still demonstrated that vehicles using rails could carry people, freight and other cargo. It was not until the second quarter of the 19th century though that a developing nation came to realize that trains could make travel both easier and speedier. In Virginia during the 1830s several …
