An NS freight train helps light the restored 1902 Union Passenger Station located near the VA/TN state line in Bristol VA. The building's main feature was a two-story tower. On the first floor were a newsstand, lunch counter, smoking room and men's toilet. The second story housed railway offices. The long, narrow single story mid-section of the station housed the ticketing and waiting room which was divided into areas for men and women. It had a 36 foot ceiling. The east end of the station was originally partitioned into the baggage and express rooms.
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
