Charlottesville's railroad station in Virginia, photographed in 1916, shows a town whose life revolved around its tracks well before the automobile took hold. Rail lines through the Piedmont carried passengers, mail, tobacco, and farm goods, and a depot like this one was often the busiest public building in a small city. Views of such stations from the early twentieth century capture the mix of horse-drawn traffic, station platforms, and waiting travelers that defined American rail travel before the interstate highway era reshaped those routes.
