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?

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.
