This is actually so cool cause when I lived in Fredericksburg for a year my dad used to take me to a part of this sometimes after school. Where we would go there are train tracks that run through it and I used to love watching the trains go by. There’s also this pyramid thing on the other side of the tracks:

Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park
Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Wilderness, and Spotsylvania, this is America's battleground, where the Civil War roared to its bloody climax. No place more vividly reflects the War's tragic cost in all its forms. A town bombarded and looted. Farms large and small ruined. Refugees by the thousands forced into the countryside. More than 85,000 men wounded; 15,000 killed--most in graves unknown.Photo: "The Bloody Angle in the Spotsylvania Battlefield is a peaceful place today." - NPS Photo
