Cosby: The old train depot
A grander depot's day will arrive
James G. Cosby
Cosby is the treasurer for the Roanoke Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society and chairman of the Virginian Railway Station Restoration Committee.
In response to your editorial, "Make old depot's new life exciting" (Sept. 22) and the preceding article, "Station renovation gets nod" (Sept. 17), we appreciate the publicity and attention you have given this project. The article was generally fair and well done. It did, however, have one omission that caused your editors wrongly to conclude that the only use proposed for these buildings is for a storage facility with a few offices. If that were true, I, also, would conclude that Roanoke Chapter, National Railway Historical Society needs a grander vision.
