Viewing Album: Staples Mill Road Station
By:
Matthew Zisi
Dates:
6/11/2017 - 6/11/2017
Album Info:
Staples Mill Road is one of those small, 1970s-style stations built after the golden age of passenger travel, when many big cities no longer needed their big terminals for railroads. In this case, Richmond's Main Street Station was eventually renovated and brought back to service, but Staples Mill remains the one where most of the trains stop. Quite a bit of traffic rolls through here, both passenger and freight, as you'll see.

Apparently, closing the door to the baggage car is optional; it was still open when the train pulled out of the station!

Dover Harbor
Description:
Built in 1923 by Pullman for the Pennsylvania Railroad, this car was originally named the Maple Shade. It was rebuilt into six double bedrooms, a buffet, and a lounge by Pullman in 1934 and given its present name, though it was then assigned to the New York Central. Trains it operated on include the Broadway Limited, the Spirit of St. Louis, the Lake Shore Limited, the Commodore Vanderbilt, the Cleveland Limited, the Knickerbocker, the Montrealer, and the Washingtonian.
