The Bristol Union Railroad Station bathed in light on twilight of a winter evening. The Station was built in 1902 and was the fourth station to stand on this spot in the Virginia side of Bristol. After passenger service stopped it was used as a shopping andn dining venue and then left empty. It was purchased by the Bristol Train Station Foundation in 1999 and lovingly restored. The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Bristol is trying to restart passenger rail service again via Amtrak, as Roanoke succeeded in doing in October 2017.
The Chesapeake and Ohio 2716 on its way to Ravenna, Kentucky from New Haven, Kentucky on 26 July 2019. Once there, the 2716 will be completely restored to running condition again and used to pull excursion trains. It was a sight to behold as it was moved out of the yard behind Clinchfield 800!
