Stoneman Station, named for Union cavalry commander George Stoneman, was a wartime rail stop in Virginia, and the title's pairing of two place names shows how a single stretch of track could carry several identities during the war. The Union army relied heavily on railroads to move troops, horses, and supplies through northern Virginia, and depots like this one were the hubs that kept armies in the field. Photographs of such installations, many taken by army-affiliated photographers, document the rough, practical infrastructure behind the front lines.
