Railroad History #24


The C&O's first passenger station in the newly created town of Huntington was built in 1872, even before the rail line was completed between Huntington and Richmond, Virginia. This card, postmarked in 1911, offers a good view of the ornate structure. In 1913, the C&O erected a new Huntington station that its corporate successor CSX Transportation continues to use for offices.
