The railroad tracks that run through Parksley have operated continuously since 1884, when Alexander Cassatt, as president of the New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad, built the line connecting Pocomoke City, Maryland, to Norfolk, Virginia, in just 6 months. Through the years, the Pennsylvania Railroad, Penn Central, Conrail, the Virginia and Maryland Railroad, the Eastern Shore Railroad, and Baycoast Railroad have continued to provide rail service to Virginia's two easternmost counties, Accomack and Northampton.
