Charlottesville C&O station

[NW Mailing List]

If you search Google Maps for 600 East Water Street, Charlottesville, Virginia 22902 you can get a good overhead satellite photo of the station. If you use the street view you can move around see the front quite well.

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.
