A house gone feral in a small patch of woods just west of the train tracks in Shockoe Valley is burning dramatically this afternoon. Firefighters are having something of a difficult time just getting to the burning structure.

It was an abondoned place. I’m not sure if it had anything to do with the railyard or if it was a house left from when the streets used to run through there. I won’t be home until about 10:30 or 11PM.

I was wondering what that was burning down there…I went past it three times on 95 and 64 and never could get a look at it without rear-ending someone.

Good pics (surprising that anyone had any of that place). Probably hobos moved in and caused a fire…
