Eastern Railroad Discussion > New VRE station south of Fredericksburg, VA

Grading is well underway for a new passenger station for the Virginia Railway Express at its Crossroads yard and maintenance facility south of Fredericksburg, VA.

1. A north-looking view that shows the terminal on a weekday/midday with the grading area in the distance. Note a northbound local stopped at an interlocking.

2. A close-up of the station area and adjacent parking lot.

3. A different perspective of the local freight and the maintenance portion of the VRE terminal.

Thanks for the pictures, cinder. They're worth 3,000 words. <G>

It looks like this new station will be a big help for people coming from even farther south. Will the passenger loading area for Amtrak (?) and VRE be on the RF&P main, or on the spur to the service area?

I like the look of Pic 1!!!

Beautiful aerial photography.

The passenger platform will be adjacent to a third track not yet installed.

Interesting. VRE service takes another (albeit short) step toward Richmond. 56 track miles (roughly) to Main Street Station Richmond. Thanks for posting.
