Sunset Hills Station used to be a stop along the Washington and Old Dominion (W&OD) Line which dates back to the 1912. This station actually has history going back to the 1850s under various names over the years but today it uses the last name it had along the W&OD.
The parking lot is large enough for 9-10 vehicles and is a great spot along the trail to take a break as there is a 7-11 across the street and the Sunset Hills Station still stands and is a great spot to take sit in the shade.
Note: this trailhead is in-between miles 17 and 18.
