Green Cove Station

Built in 1914, the Green Cove Station served as a depot, general store, and telegraph office for the Abingdon Branch of the Norfolk and Western railroad - otherwise know as the Virginia Creeper train. It was made famous by an image captured by the reknowned photographer O. Winston Link entitled "Maud bows to the Virginia Creeper" in October 1956. The last train ran by this station in 1977 and the tracks were removed by the end of the following year. Green Cove Station has been preserved and is now a visitor's center for the Virginia Creeper biking / hiking trail that runs from Abingdon, Virginia to the North Carolina State line.
