Charlottesville C&O station

[NW Mailing List]

I stand corrected!  I've driven by and ridden by on the Cardinal a  number 
of times - "never assume"!

I  want to confirm as a resident of Charlottesville that the C & O 
Restaurant  is not in the old C & O building.  It is actually across the  street.  
The old station was renovated years ago and is comprised mostly  of business 
offices.  Davenport and Company occupies most of the  building.

I've  been there and probably photographed both stations, but I'd have to 
go dig  up the negs to be sure...

What is in the former C&O station  now?

The  C&O's 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.
