Fact text
- Herndon's old railroad line was so beloved that when it shut down, the town turned the train station into a museum, and imported a caboose that never actually traveled through Herndon to display out front.
- Herndon sits in the heart of the 'Netplex,' a tech corridor so wired that Fortune magazine coined the nickname for its concentration of internet giants like AOL and Network Solutions.
- Network Solutions, the company that once registered literally every single domain name on the internet, called the Herndon area home.
- The town's beloved downtown caboose was dedicated to the memory of the local history enthusiast who tracked it down in 1989, even though it never once passed through Herndon in its working life.
