Train Station

Luray, Virginia 

The last steam powered passenger train stopped in Luray in 1952. The depot was used for freight service until 1980 when it was no longer needed by the railroad and used only for storage. Purchased by the Town of Luray, the station has been restored and now houses the Luray-Page County Chamber of Commerce.

The brick station was built in 1906 to replace an 1880 wooden station that was destroyed by fire.

Have a pleasant weekend, and thanks for reading Photography In Place.
