If you are a train buff, for real or model railroading,
a recently added collection of over 60 books may be right up your track.
The Bernard S. Logan Collection, housed at the Bealeton Branch Library focuses on the history of steam, diesel and electric locomotives, with a special interest in the B&O, C&O, N&W and the Southern Railway lines. Most of these are older books from the 60's and 70's.
Wonderful photographs including interiors of passenger cars, dining cars, night trains, the whole gamut of train travel is covered.
Additionally, the Bealeton Branch also receives these magazine titles:
Model Railroader
Piedmont Local (also available at Warrenton)
These resources are part of a growing collection of train materials at the branch in relation to the restoration of the Bealeton Depot.
Depot renovations are being funded in large part by corporate donations and a Transportation Enhancement Act of the Twenty-First Century (TEA-21) grant.
The 820-square-foot depot will eventually serve as a program room for the library and as a community meeting space.
