That's cool! I'm surprised they left it open given it really doesn't serve much of a transportation function, as it would if it went under a STROAD, highway or other obstacle that's not traversable easily walking or by bike. My guess is if there were a huge maintenance bill due they would abandon it, unless it now has some historical significance other than nostalgia for old rail fans.
The Virginia Room at one of the city's libraries has black & white images of the last train to go down Wilkes Street. I believe it was 1974.
