Petersburg Union Station is an unused train station in Petersburg, Virginia. It was originally built in 1909–1910 for the Norfolk and Western Railway, replacing an earlier structure damaged by a flood.[2] The station remained in use until the formation of Amtrak in 1971, when passenger service on the Norfolk and Western's tracks ended. It saw a brief revival in 1975–1977, when Amtrak operated the Mountaineer between Norfolk and Cincinnati, Ohio.[3]
The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad also used Union Station for a time; the ACL's line curved off to the northeast while the Norfolk and Western's ran east–west.[4][5] The Atlantic Coast Line used a new station from 1955 on.
The Seaboard Air Line Railroad, the third railroad to serve Petersburg, had two stations (Market Street and Donlap Street) near downtown.[6] Union Station is located along the northeastern edge of the Petersburg Old Town Historic District.[7]
