A smallish       brick building, with the former storage sheds and all still there. I.e, B&O       just locked the doors and walked away.        The C&O is a huge place since there lots of RR offices there.        That was closed in the 70s/80s and a little shed like office built along       the tracks a block or so away. I think that is even now closed with most       tickets sold online.         Both still have tracks there, the old C&O is along the mainline.        The B&O was eventually brought and turned into a railroad themed       restaurant and the freight sheds into different small businesses.        The visitors bureau has an office there now. I pity the poor tourist       trying to find the place.        There is a steam engine and Pullman car there but slowly turning to       rust.        Joe       --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        * Origin: Fido Since 1991 | QWK by Web | BBS.FIDOSYSOP.ORG (1:123/140)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 15/0 16/0 18/200 19/36 80/1 90/1 105/81 106/201       SEEN-BY: 116/18 120/302 340 123/130 131 140 124/5016 129/305 153/7715       SEEN-BY: 154/10 203/0 2 124 218/700 221/0 1 222/2 226/30 227/114 702       SEEN-BY: 229/101 424 426 428 452 664 981 1016 1017 230/0 150 152 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/110 206 307 317 400 250/1 261/38 100 1466 266/512       SEEN-BY: 267/155 275/100 280/464 5003 282/1038 1056 288/100 291/100       SEEN-BY: 291/111 292/854 317/3 320/119 219 319 322/0 757 340/400 341/66       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 423/120 633/280 640/1321 712/848 770/1 801/161       SEEN-BY: 801/189 2320/105 2452/250 3634/12 5020/1042       PATH: 123/140 261/38 320/219 203/0 280/464 229/101 426           |
