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.

Good morning,
