This was the site of Lynchburg's Union Station. An idea of what the scene looked liked decades ago can be had at this link: http://www.retroweb.com/lynchburg/rails/nw006.jpg         
N&W used it until December 1964. The C&O until April 1957, IIRC. The Southern until late 1931. Freight service used the tunnel (behind the two blue dumpsters) until November 3, 1970, when the track you see was diverted to the left to avoid the tunnel.
