    JM>   We have two here, the former B&O station and the the former C&O   
    JM> station.   
      
     The station in Charlottesville, Virginia (I think) is in the former   
   Railway Express Agency office. It connects with both Amtrak's Cardinal   
   and Amtrak's Crescent. But, since I've given up on all train travel,   
   due to health and finances, I hardly keep up with that anymore.   
      
    JM>    The visitors bureau has an office there now.  I pity the poor   
    JM> tourist trying to find the place.   
      
     Sounds like a contradiction in terms.   
      
    JM>    There is a steam engine and Pullman car there but slowly turning to   
    JM> rust.   
      
     Sadly, that's the same thing in so many areas. COVID-19 basicaly shut   
   down the Arkansas Railroad Museum, and all the stuff there now is just   
   wasting away.
