Culpeper Train Station — Donna Hopkins

*Approaching the Train Depot, Culpeper, Virginia, August 2025*

I love the idea of train travel. But. After having actually taken the midnight train to Georgia (12 hours and 48 minutes), the reality settles in. It’s a long time in a confined space, which does not sit well with me. The romantic notion of train travel is good fodder for mysteries and romance stories, but you couldn’t drag me on another train. It was still fun to take the picture!
