Ex-Seaboard Coast Line trains (Champion, Silver Meteor, and Silver Star) continued to use Broad Street Station in Richmond, while the Newport News section of the ex-Chesapeake and Ohio Railway George Washington (later James Whitcomb Riley) continued to use Main Street Station.

[4] The James Whitcomb Riley moved from Main Street to a station at Ellerson (Mechanicsville) on October 15, 1975.

[8] All Richmond trains would stop at both Staples Mill and Main Street, after extensive track improvements.

A new bridge would be built over the James River, and a rail yard constructed in South Richmond.
