A group of southeast D.C. residents have lost a key battle in their fight against the reconstruction and expansion of a freight train tunnel in their neighborhood, which they fear will bring an unnecessary risk of freight car derailment and explosion just one mile from the U.S. Capitol. The Federal Highway Administration on Tuesday approved the proposal from CSX Corp. to reconstruct the Virginia Avenue Tunnel, a 3,800-foot-long tunnel that runs trains beneath Virginia Avenue SE.
