Hello,
I wonder how many C&O buildings are still standing and what conditions they are in? Here are the ones that I know of:
Depots and Stations:
Thurmond Depot - Restored, owned by the National Park service who
uses it as a New River Gorge Visitor's Center.
Cotton Hill Freight Depot - Used for storing MoW supplies.
Prince Passenger Station - Still used by Amtrak, Good Shape with
C&O and Chessie livery.
Hinton Passenger Depot - Fair condition. Trains still stop here.
Clover Lick Depot - Restored. Used as a stop on the Greenbrier
River Trail (former C&O Greenbrier Subdivision).
Durbin Depot - Restored, Owned by the Durbin and Greenbrier Valley
railroad and is where the excursion train tickets
are sold.
Charleston Station - Good Condition, used as an Amtrak stop and
houses other businesses.
St. Albans Depot - Restored
Clifton Forge Station - In good Shape.
Clifton Forge Freight Depot - Owned by COHS, needs much work.
Gordonsville Freight Depot - Deteriorating condition, Needs
restoration.
Cass Depot - Not authentic, built in the 1970's after the second
authentic depot burned. Has the styling of the first
depot and the size of the second.
Coaling Towers:
Thurmond
Handley
Clifton Forge
Hinton?
Other Structures:
Thurmond Commissary- Later Thurmond Post Office. owned and
restored by the national Park Service.
Cass Water Tank - Used by the Cass Scenic Railroad. Fallen into
poor condition and will be rebuilt this winter.
Small Shed at Thurmond - Weathered but in decent shape.
Small Shed at Orange - Appears to be in decent shape.
G Cabin, Gordonsville - Good to Fair Condition.
