My favorite railroad station is now the Science Museum of Virginia. My school classmates and I used to take a train for field trips to D.C. museums and Arlington National Cemetery. We took Greyhounds instead of trains some years.

Must-See RVA! — Broad Street Station

It must have an awfully small diameter smokebox for such a large diameter front door.
