I went there a few times in some of its earlier efforts.  It is a beautiful old station.  However it wasn't a Southern station, but instead was used by Seaboard and Chesapeake & Ohio.  Southern used Hull Street Station south of the James while the ACL and RF&P used Broad Street station.

What a beautiful venue. I hope there is a way to keep it in use. Great layout- wish I was closer to come and see it.

Great Station. It's nice to see civic planners find creative uses for our historic structures.

Nice work guys!

PS- who were the two cute elves?????

Another great looking layout in another wonderful station.  It reminds me of the old B&O station that was in Downtown Pittsburgh, long ago.  It has been 30 years since I was in Richmond regularly or passing through, I didn’t know the station was still there.

You are absolutely correct! Sorry, too much egg nog.....or, this is what happens when a New Haven, New York Central, NYO&W fan moves to the south!

Thanks, Peter, for another excellent thread.  I feel a bit foolish since I road Amtrak from DC to Newport News twice a month on week-ends in the early '90s and never considered the stations there.

Glad this is preserved, as is the Cincinnati station.  I am a fan of stations, and many rural/small town ones in the area, that l favor and once visited, are gone.
