Bluemont Caboose

Highlight • Historical Site

The Bluemont Caboose, now housed on a specially built rail bed behind the Bluemont Community Center, is a historical bit of the Washington and Old Dominion Railroad's (W&OD) legacy. Once a key transportation corridor in Northern Virginia, the W&OD connected Alexandria to Bluemont at the Blue Ridge Mountains' base. The railway provided a boost in regional development, agriculture, and tourism from 1859 until its closure in 1968. After the railroad tracks were removed, much of the route was transformed into rail trails. The Bluemont Citizens Association, in collaboration with the county Department of Parks and Recreation, restored the caboose into a museum showcasing railroad memorabilia and community history.
