The rear of One. Imagine what it would be like to travel in such luxury. One is parked along with her former rider car, an old RF&P heavyweight Baggage car, and an old B&O bay window caboose. |

C&O K Class No. 2732 |
| Description: |
Old C&O Kanawha spared from the scrapper's torch, and the abuse and neglect of a inner-city park. 2732 whistles off every hour by way of a recording, and "steams" through a smoke machine located on her fireman's side for about 2 minutes. |

VEPCo Building |
| Description: |
This was the first skyscraper in Richmond. So why is it on RRPicturearchives? When it was built it was the headquarters for VEPCo's Trolley system. A trolley station was located on the first floor, and main offices upstairs. Until the 1940s, large lights placed in cauldrons lit up the night sky from the top of the columns near the top of the building. |

Main Street Station |
| Description: |
The Grande Dame of Richmond. It's hard to get good pictures of it smashed between I-95 and the C&O viaduct. This beauty from 1903 has survived floods, fires, and several changes of ownership, and is now open again as a passenger station, and is central to the city's plan of a revitalized "bottoms" district. |

Rivanna Junction |

Here is where the C&O's James River Sub (at right) meets the C&O's Charlottesville line (left). The building right smack in the middle is home to some of the best pizza you will ever eat. Quality food, getting together with family, and primo trainwatching. Who could ask for more? Oh, and the triple track crossing is few blocks from here, and visible from the restaurant's second floor deck! |

Main Street Station |
| Description: |
Main Street Station's landmark clock tower is visible from just about anywhere down in the bottoms, and stands in stark contrast to the modern skyscrapers that surround her. I was in Richmond two weeks after the tragic VPI shootings, hence the Commonwealth's flag at half mast. |

Downtown |
| Description: |
A storm is moving in quickly. Of note in this picture is the crossing gaurd at the intersection of Railroad Ave. and England St. Traffic has become so dense on the little 2 lane road that these gaurds are needed to assist the many school busses that come through town. You can imagine who has the right of way. They also serve to prevent cars from gridlocking over the railroad, but are only present during the times the school busses are running. |
