Duffields station

Duffields is an unincorporated community in Jefferson County, West Virginia, United States. Duffields depot is the second oldest surviving B&O depot, named for the pre-Civil War landowner who constructed it (Richard Duffield), and has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 2007. No longer in railroad use, it is expected to become a museum. During the American Civil War, a Confederate infantry company (Company H of the 2nd Virginia Infantry) was recruited from the area. The depot became a strategic target, most famous for its capture by Confederate Capt. John S. Mosby on June 29, 1864, as well as a raid his Rangers made on a Union army pay train on October 14, 1864 (the "Greenback raid"). The modern community is served by the Duffields MARC Train station, located on the Brunswick Line. Services to Washington, D.C., and Martinsburg are provided on weekdays.

Shenandoah Junction is a census-designated place (CDP) in Jefferson County in the U.S. state of West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle. As of the 2010 census, Shenandoah Junction had a population of 703. It is located between Kearneysville, WV and Charles Town, WV off WV 9. Shenandoah Junction is home to Jefferson High School and West Virginia's oldest surviving wood-frame structure, the Peter Burr House, built around 1751. The land where Shenandoah Junction was built was part of the 392 acres (1.59 km2) granted by Lord Fairfax to Lewis Neil. The town was originally called Neil's, but the name was changed to Shenandoah Junction in 1881. The town owes much of its early growth to the coming of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in the 1830s, and the name refers to the junction of the B&O and Norfolk and Western Railway at the center of the community. Today, the Norfolk Southern Hagerstown Line (H Line), and the CSX Cumberland Subdivision lines intersect at the Junction.

York Hill, near Shenandoah Junction, West Virginia is a historic property listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The original log portion of the house was built in the mid-1750s by Samuel Darke on a 360-acre (150 ha) tract conveyed by Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron in 1754. The farm passed into the ownership of Colonel James Hendricks in 1762. Upon Colonel Hendricks' death in 1795, the farm was sold into ownership of the Snyder family. Due to heavy tax debt, the Snyder's lost the farm and Robert Hockensmith purchased it in 1939 in partnership with Milton Burr. Mr. Hockensmith later bought out Mr. Burr's share and transferred ownership of the property to his daughter, Mary Frances (Hockensmith) Hockman, upon her marriage in 1955. Upon Ms. Hockman's death in 2007, her son, Gordon Hockman, became the current owner. York Hill began as a farm consisting of livestock, grains, and tobacco. The Snyder's began to develop the farm as an apple/fruit orchard, and the Hockensmiths and Hockmans fully developed the commercial potential of the York Hill orchards which still operate today. Several additions have been made to the house since its humble origins as a simple two-storied log cabin. An extended two-storied wing was added in the late 1790s to include separate living quarters for another family member. A limestone addition to the house and other various stone out-buildings were built between 1802 and 1825, including the 1812 bank barn that is host to many weddings and receptions today. The last additions, to include the stately columned-front porch and west wing, were built in 1972 by Jerry Hockman.
