Description
A pair of two-story brick buildings sit along the railroad tracks that run through the tiny hamlet of Delaplane, Virginia. Freight trains still go by, but they haven't stopped in Delaplane for decades. The rather ramshackle structures have housed antique shops for many, many years now. When these buildings were constructed in 1852, Delaplane was known as Piedmont Station, and there was a lot more going on. Here's some text from the historic marker that stands near the old depot:
On July 19, 1861 Stonewall Jackson's brigade of General Joseph E. Johnston's corps marched to this station from Winchester. They crowded into freight and cattle cars and travelled to the 1st Battle of Manassas. The use of a railroad to carry more than ten thousand troops to the Manassas battlefield gave striking demonstration of the arrival of a new era in military transport and contributed significantly to the Confederate victory there.
