Luray Virginia Station

The Luray Norfolk and Western Passenger Station is a historic train station located in Luray, Virginia, United States. The Shenandoah Valley Railroad reached Luray in 1881 and constructed a station near where the present station is located. Shortly after the Norfolk and Western Railway absorbed the Shenandoah Valley Railroad in 1890, plans arose to construct a new station in Luray. This station, which still stands, was constructed in 1906 and was designed by the railroad's Chief Engineer, Charles S. Churchill. The structure was partially destroyed by fire in 1908 when it was struck by lightning; however, it was soon thereafter reconstructed according to the original design. The station is a one-story brick structure featuring a hip roof. The building was converted to freight use around 1960 and was sold to the town of Luray by the Norfolk and Western's successor, the Norfolk Southern Railway, in 1999.The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 27, 2000. It is a contributing property in the Luray Downtown Historic District.The building was rehabilitated by the Town of Luray in 2009 and is currently home to the Page County Railway Museum, the Luray-Page County Visitor Center, and offices for the Luray Downtown Initiative and the Luray-Page County Chamber of Commerce.
