Description
Passengers arriving by train to Fairfax, possibly heading for Fairfax Park, to the left. The two-story white building pictured on the left is the Alpine Building, built in 1920. Above the station, in the distance, is the Manor Hill Incline Railroad, which was built in 1913 and ran through 1929. At the top of the incline was a tavern. The train station itself still exists as a home on Cascade Drive; it was moved to Cascade Drive, and remodeled in the early 1940s after the train stopped running in 1941.
