Westham station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Westham Station in Henrico County, Virginia, USA, was originally located at Westham on the Richmond and Allegheny Railroad (R&A), which was laid along the towpath of the James River and Kanawha Canal in the 1880s.[2] The R&A railroad was acquired by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O) in the 1890s.[3] Westham station was built in 1911, near the Westham Bridge, which spans the James River. The station was heated by a coal stove and had a telegraph for communication through the 1950s.[1]
C&O's Westham station was relocated to a Richmond city park on the intersection of Robin Hood Road and Hermitage Road in 1961.[1]
