Natural Bridge Station

[PFMcFarland]

Natural Bridge Station is a couple of miles from Natural Bridge Park, and the old part of town is really isolated from the main roads. I drove up hoping to find a station structure still standing, but instead was pleasantly surprised by what really was there.

The N&W Railway (now NS) James River Bridge was built in 1915, and some of the town structures look to be much older than that. Such a neat little place tucked out of sight.

I don’t have too much stuff. Now this guy, well, he’s got just enough.

The rest of town is an antique too.

Nice series; without that camper, you'd be hard pressed to spot when the pictures were taken.
