It consists of of track broken into three subdivisions with numerous sidings, spurs, stations and facilities. This article concentrates on the height of US Army rail operations on the Fort Eustis Military Railroad from the late 1950s to the mid-1960s prior to divestiture of the rail operations and maintenance missions in the 1970s when they were turned over to civil servants and later to contractors, and the rail training mission transferred to the 84th Training Command. The rail system is currently run by the Utility Rail Branch, whose contract is held by Northrop Grumman Technical Services. The Utility Rail Branch of the Fort Eustis Military Railroad joined Operation Lifesaver in 2010.
