Category talk:Railway stations in Virginia at university and college campuses
This list is sparser than I expected.
For filling it out, what counts as a campus for purposes of this directory? How close is covered by at? Is station limited only to active passenger stops?
Randolph–Macon College is across the tracks from the Ashland Amtrak station. This seems like an obvious addition.
In metropolitan DC, there are lots of sites operated by out-of-town universities. Most of these are experiential learning ("Washington semester") outposts, which seem not to rise to campus status. But (to use examples I know) Virginia Tech and the University of Virginia have long had faculty and degree-granting programs for graduate students based in the region, even sharing the Northern Virginia Center next to the West Falls Church Metro station, which included both universities' initials in its name. UVa recently moved to Rosslyn, but the West Falls Church station is still tagged "VT," and the forthcoming Potomac Yard Metro station will be tagged with VT as well. On the grounds of official usage and the GMU listing, I assume they'd belong.
A consortium of universities operate the Roanoke Higher Education Center in the former headquarters building of the Norfolk & Western Railway, directly across the tracks from the Amtrak platform. OTOH, that station has only one roundtrip train in 2017-21, with a second planned to be added in 2022.
Emory & Henry repurposed a disused station as a campus building. That may be too far removed from what readers of this list might expect.
