Did the CSX have any connections to D.C before they bought out the RF&P? I am asking because I want my own layout (The Norfolk Carolina & Danville) to buy the RF&P and turn it into a subsidiary.
Sure.
The first railroad in the US, the B&O from Harpers Ferry and the B&O north to Baltimore, Wilmington and Philadelphia.
C&O and B&O both accessed Washington, DC

From where did those lines Originate?
The line west to Harpers Ferry went all the way to Chicago and St Louis and all points in between. The B&O line north to Baltimore, Wilmington and Philadelphia went to Baltimore, Wilmington and Philadelphia.
Why don’t you just Google the B&O and find a map?
Or buy a CSX ETT for the division he’s interested in.
