Eric Domboski posted four photos and a video with the comment: "For years, I've noted the old CHESAPEAKE & OHIO FREIGHT HOUSE in the Covington CSX yard, but yesterday, with the aid of my drone, I got to see how the original freight house was situated in relation to the large annex that was added to it in three directions."

They have preserved the depot as a museum and it appears an earlier freight house is still standing next to the depot.

RE Pearce posted three photos with the comment: "It was sad to see the abandoned C&O passenger station in Covington VA in this condition.  But the community came together to restore it.  It now houses a museum and the railroad historical society offices."
