LYNDHURST The train zooms by and doesnt even rattle the 130-year-old floor. For more than 25 years, Sylvia and Max Reinhardt have lived in a former train station in Lyndhurst. Neither was completely on board with the idea at first. I had goosebumps when she told me she bought it, Max Reinhardt admitted. It was a wreck it was a complete tear down, as far as I was concerned. She has an eye for those things. It was a shack, Sylvia Reinhardt said. The two have gotten so used to the trains coming by they hardly notice.

Hagerstown, Md., on to Roanoke. I sort of fell in love with the buildings bones, Sylvia Reinhardt said. I told Max ... I want you to meet me at the train station, I want to buy it. And he said you are out of your mind. So he came out here with me. An artist, Sylvia Reinhardt first wanted a space to paint, sculpt and use as a gallery. She found the train station a perfect place to set up shop.

She bought the building in 1985 from the Quillen family, who own Waynesboro Nurseries. The building, according to the Reinhardts, was uninhabitable it had only been used for storage since the 1960s. There was nothing in here, but pitch black. You could see through the floor. It was just something I would never want to live in, Max Reinhardt said. The Quillens used it to store fertilizer and other equipment for the nursery. It was getting in really bad disrepair, and Sylvia wanted it really badly. She was willing to do all the work and get it up to snuff and it needed a lot of work, said Ed Quillen, president of Waynesboro Nurseries. She put a lot of love and labor in that. I think its great. Sylvia kind of runs on a different schedule than other people, shes a forwardthinking artist. Sylvia Reinhardt says shes a lover of old buildings and couldnt wait to get her hands on the old train station. She only owns the building, not the land. The railroad is very protective of their land, she said. But why a train station? I think that old train stations are so valuable to hold onto. Because they would never build this building again, she said.

To me, its historically important to retain what we have of the old train stations. Theyre something wonderful about them. When they tear one down, its gone forever.
