Abandoned Station - Chillicothe OH

Original building added onto on four occasions; mostly brick with some frame. CSX line removed 1989, NS line still quite active. John Thompson reports in 2007 that the building appears abandoned. Structure appears to be in very bad shape. Roof in very poor condition, if no holes, will be very soon. Windows broken, boarded up. Building still secure, padlocks on doors. Chain link fence around east end of building. Transfer track from CSX to NS still intact at rear of building, appears to be still used. In its heyday, the station featured a full dining room and lunch counter.

Station is now gone. Behind the depot, the B&O had Steam locomotive repair shops, later used to repair cabooses before being closed by CSX. Some of those shop buildings survive today.

So sad to see this important part of history fall in to disrepair. I see the rails are nice and shiny, so it is still a busy track. Nice shot and a good way to remember these places once they are gone.
