Kemper Street Station

Amtrak’s newly restored Kemper Street Station in Lynchburg on February 28, 2013. Kemper Street Station was built in 1912 by the Southern Railway to house their passenger and freight operations in the Lynchburg area. A three-story structure built into a hillside, the top floor fronts Kemper Street while on the opposite side the track level ground floor fronts the rail platforms. Originally included, but later removed, was an elevated walkway extending from a street level passenger lobby across the tracks. Photo by Alex Mayes.
