156 in Orange, VA

[snvboy]

Had a nice brunch with my wife today in Orange, VA, and stepped outside just in time to catch regional 156 roll through town on its way north.

Thought y'all would enjoy it.

Thanks for sharing! Brunch with your lady in an old Virginia town, only thing missing is y'all actually catching the train!

Yes, I did enjoy your video of Orange. Thank you. Brought back memories.

For as long as I can remember, we used to take the train from NYP to Orange to spend the summer with my grandparents. I remember going into town with my grandmother to shop at the A & P, Leggett's and Woolworth's. When they discontinued Orange as a stop, we had to take Greyhound. UGH.

Did you have brunch at the Silk Mill? It was once a real silk mill. My parents met and worked there as did my grandmother.

Brunch was at http://www.thelightwell.comjust a half block from the tracks and old train station.

Interesting menu. We only pass through Orange now to visit the cemetery, but next time, I think we'll stop and try it out. Thanks for the link
