caption_attribution_description: English: A shot of the Amtrak Station at Staples Mill Road near Richmond, Virginia. I had to park two parking lots away to take this shot, because the parking lot requires a ticket to enter by car, and is protected by a booth.
context_page_description: The Richmond Staples Mill Road Amtrak station is located in unincorporated Henrico County, about 5 miles north of downtown Richmond. The station was designed by David Volkert and Associates, and was built in 1975 as a replacement for Main Street Station in downtown Richmond, which had been heavily damaged by flooding from Hurricane Agnes. At its opening, it also inherited trains that had called at Richmond's other former union station, Broad Street Station. Although limited Amtrak service returned to Main Street Station in 2003, Staples Mill Road remains the primary rail station for the Richmond area with only the Newport News-terminating branch of Amtrak's Northeast Regional service currently serving Main Street.
  The station has an indoor waiting room with restrooms, a snack bar, and a teller window.
