 After the war , the tunnel continued to be used by the Virginia Central Railroad , and after 1868 , the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad . The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad was reorganized as the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in 1878 , and continued to route trains through the tunnel up until the tunnel 's demolition with the construction of Interstate 64 in the 1960s and 1970s . At the time of the tunnel 's demolition , it was one of only two of Crozet 's original four tunnels of the Blue Ridge Railroad still in operation ( the other , which as of 2013 is still in use , was the 100 @-@ foot ( 30 m ) Little Rock Tunnel ) . Today , Interstate 64 passes over the cut that replaced the Brookville Tunnel .
