The Fort Eustis Military Railroad was a double-loop system interchanging with the C&O Railway . Shown here at its height, much of the rail system has since been pulled up. Abandonments include the James River Subdivision from just beyond Wagner to King Junction, all heating plant tracks, the rail shop tracks east of Hanks Yard, the second track between King and Hanks Yard, and the track running south from James.

It consists of 31 miles (50 km) 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 Utility Rail Branch (URB) of the Fort Eustis Military Railway continues to operate today under the command of the 733RD Logistics Readiness Division (LRD), Joint-Base Langley Eustis. The Utility Rail Branch of the Fort Eustis Military Railroad joined Operation Lifesaver in 2010.
