The Luray Norfolk and Western Passenger Station is a historic train station located in Luray, Virginia, United States. The Shenandoah Valley Railroad reached Luray in 1881 and constructed a station near where the present station is located. Shortly after the Norfolk and Western Railway absorbed the Shenandoah Valley Railroad in 1890, plans arose to construct a new station in Luray.[5] This station, which still stands, was constructed in 1906 and was designed by the railroad's Chief Engineer, Charles S. Churchill.[2] The structure was partially destroyed by fire in 1908 when it was struck by lightning; however, it was soon thereafter reconstructed according to the original design.[6] The station is a one-story brick structure featuring a hip roof. The building was converted to freight use around 1960[2] and was sold to the town of Luray by the Norfolk and Western's successor, the Norfolk Southern Railway, in 1999.[7]

The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 27, 2000.[1] It is a contributing property in the Luray Downtown Historic District.[8]

The building was rehabilitated by the Town of Luray in 2009 and is currently home to the Page County Railway Museum, the Luray-Page County Visitor Center, and offices for the Luray Downtown Initiative and the Luray-Page County Chamber of Commerce.
