What is in the former C&O station   now?

main station was on E. Water St., built about     1905 and still 
standing, though an earlier station may have been on the     site.  The 
Union depot off Main St. that the C&O shared with     the SR (now used 
by Amtrak) was built a few years earlier, and remodeled     about 
1905-1910.  I can't recall when or why the C&O sold its Water     St. 
station, but it has probably been reported before in the C&O     
Historical Society magazine, an excellent resource.

     C. Chamberlayne asked: "What was the station name for       the 
downtown C & O station in Charlottesville?"  It was named the       
Main Steet Station.  It's telegraph call was MO.  When scanner       
radios were a novelty in the 1970s, the yard personnel called the       
yardmaster "Mm-Oh."

Abram commented that with telegraphy, station       names and numbers 
weren't spelled out when copying and repeating train       orders.  His 
posting was very informative for this green       operator.
