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.
