Richmond has a long rail history, and we actually have two historic depots in town. One has been totally restored, and the other is still standing, but in dis-repair, but it is set to be restored, as outlined in the article below. In the late 90s when I started photographing freights, they were still using the tracks behind the depot to store gondolas. When they built a new bridge on National Road the line was cut off, and it became totally abandoned. The area was finally turned over from CSX to the city recently, and will be used to connect the Cardinal Greenway walking trail to the Gorge Trail. Here are some scans from the early 2000s, after abandonment, and present day photos of the depot.
