"Is two over one railroad fare?"

This unique photograph presents to view the only point in the world where three trunk line trains may cross each other, at the same time and over their separate tracks. At the top is shown a coal train of the C. & O. Railway leaving Richmond for the upper James River Valley. Just beneath is a train of the S.A.L. Railway leaving the Main Street Depot for the South, and on the ground a train of the Southern Rail way coming into Richmond from West Point on the York River.
