When I was a young boy my father would take me down to the depot located on Depot Street in Asheville, N.C. before they tore it down. I was curious if any pictures of the depot, inside or outside, and the yard to the west of the depot are available.

You can find an old postcard print of the Asheville depot at Train Stations of NC or go to www.pwrr.org/nstation/. They also list other stations and depots in NC.
