WHERE IN THE CSD?

Welcome to our game, of sorts. However, there are no prizes. Only bragging rights are involved. The object of the game is to identify the railroad item/location show.

Our Superintendent, Rick Knight, came up with this set of photos to challenge us:

          

Before you ask... yes, these are two views of the same place...

Here are the answers to the questions:

1 - What is it?

    The Albemarle Market Street Train Station

2 - Where is it located?

    Down the street from the Albemarle Music Store and layout

3 - What is it used for?

    The Old Market Street Station on the WSS line has been restored, and is now the site of a popular Farmer's Market. (Source: Wikipedia)
    Albemarle's 87-year-old railway station has been moved 140 yards to a new foundation in the first step of a months-long preservation process. The wood-frame Albemarle depot greeted passengers until 1933 and accepted freight on the Winston-Salem Southbound Railway into the 1970s before it was boarded up as a storage building for the railroad. The wood-frame building was moved to a spot on West Main Street near the busy intersection of U.S. 52 and N.C. 73. (Source: Associated Press story, April 12, 1997)
