Late 19th Century
The image presented here is drawn from the recently republished Rails to the Blue Ridge, by Herbert H. Harwood, Jr., which book is available for purchase through this site.


The Washington terminal of the Washington, Ohio & Western, and its successors,
was located on the site occupied today by the West Building
of the National Gallery of Art. This photograph was taken about 1895.
