Springfield VA Homes For Sale

Springfield was named after the many springs discovered around the original Orange and Alexandria Railroad Station in the 19^th century. Today that same historic Springfield railroad station is now known as the Springfield/Backlick Road Station of the VRE and it goes from Manassas, VA to Washington D.C. There are two Springfield VRE railroad stations. The second is located not far from the first coming from the direction of Washington DC and is known as the Franconia/Springfield Station, this station goes to Fredericksburg, VA. Both of the VRE railways take their passengers to Union Station in Washington, D.C. which is located a stone’s throw from the United States Capital. Once you arrive at Union Station you can get on board with Amtrak and go almost anywhere in the United States. The VRE also provides you the ability to connect easily with five Metrorail stations located at Franconia-Springfield, Alexandria (King Street), Crystal City, L’Enfant and Union Station.
