Answer Man is hot on the trail of two Fairfax County street names
Officially, the names are not that old. Unofficially, they hark back to an earlier time in that neck of Fairfax County, near where I-95 crosses the Occoquan River.
The county produced a 30-page pamphlet outlining the changes. Virginia Route 611 between Route 123 and Route 1 — labeled Telegraph Road on earlier maps — would become Furnace Road. What had been Virginia Route 637/877, off Route 617, would become Cinder Bed Road. Cinder Bed Road was the original right of way of the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad, when the line from Richmond to Washington was completed in 1872, Barbuschak said. A railroad station called Long Branch stood approximately where Cinder Bed Road and Newington Road are today.
