A former Chesapeake & Ohio railroad phone box has been restored by the Chesapeake & Ohio Historical Society.
The artifact is on display at the C&O Railway Heritage Center in Clifton Forge, Virginia.
The historical society said at one time the railroad had hundreds of these phone boxes, which continued to be used into the 1980s. But they were replaced other forms of communication.
The restored phone box came from the former C&O mainline in Charlottesville, Virginia.
It was donated to the C&OHS by society member and former director David Powell, who had acquired it during a construction project involving Interstate 64.
Powell kept the phone box for more than four decades before donating it to the C&OHS.
