A Piece of Americana - 95 Years Old and Still "Workin' On The Railroad"

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Executives

Built in 1914 the Manassas, VA Railroad Depot still operates serving both Amtrak and Virginia Railway Express commuter trains. A portion of the interior has been faithfully preserved as a museum. It also houses the offices of Historic Manassas.

As you may know, Manassas played a key role in the "War BetweenThe States" with two significant battles and also as a key rail junction vital to the movement of troops and supplies

The photos below are snapshots of old photos hanging on the interior walls of the depot. I enjoy the one of commuters from "the old days" standing on the platform waiting for the train just as they do today. Notice the men all wearing fedoras.

Hello Karen, I like that when Amtrak and the community keep old buildings with this character alive and well.  The old photos are fun to view as well. Thanks and Happy New Year!  John
