Virginia Bond Debt and RF&P Rail Line Outlook
Virginia floated bonds in the 1820s and 1830s to fund railways and canals to reach settlers beyond the Blue Ridge. Most projects failed by the Civil War, except the RF&P railroad which remains a strong money maker and the state’s second largest stockholder. Currently 376 313.85 in matured bonds may be redeemed if still Virginia bonds. West Virginia has not paid her share since 1939. The 14th Amendment blocks repayment of Civil War borrowings.
