Covington C&O Depot

The Covington C&O Depot was not open when we ventured through the area last month.


There were train cars in the back, but I don't know if they were exhibits.


More graffiti.



I really like the look of train tracks. They are always taking you somewhere.


I also like train trestles and bridges. We don't build things like that any more. The pictures below are just shots I took when we walked around the building.

  2. We have an old style train bridge at the end of our road.
    Ever day around 7:30 Am and between 5 and 7 p.m. a train goes through the distant woods and whistles.
    I love hearing the train whistle in out rural area . sometimes the whistle takes me back to long ago memories of when I would watch old Western movies with my dad .

  3. There were trains and tracks that went back behind my grandparent's farm, slowly. My older cousins and my aunties used to catch a boxcar ride into a town about three miles away. Fun memories.

  4. Somehow we missed seeing Covington when we toured part of the area a while ago, but being the train fan that he is, Grenville/Pat will definitely make this a destination on a future trip. I too like seeing old train trestles and bridges.

  5. I love trains and train tracks. There's something about them that makes them so picturesque.
