Roanoke station. You’ll have three hours in downtown
Roanoke on your own to visit nearby attractions such as the
Virginia Museum of Transportation, O. Winston Link
Museum, Science Museum of Western Virginia, and
Taubman Museum of Art (all within a few blocks walk) or
stroll up the hill to the Hotel Roanoke, to enjoy mountain
air and the view overlooking downtown.
Dover Harbor is scheduled for a 4:30 PM departure from
Amtrak’s Roanoke station in the late afternoon with
