Former railroad stations around here have been repurposed for other things...
We have two here, the former B&O station and the the former C&O station.
When they merged in the '50s the B&O building was abandoned. A smallish brick building, with the former storage sheds and all still there. I.e, B&O just locked the doors and walked away.
The C&O is a huge place since there lots of RR offices there.
That was closed in the 70s/80s and a little shed like office built along
the tracks a block or so away. I think that is even now closed with most tickets sold online.
Both still have tracks there, the old C&O is along the mainline.
The B&O was eventually brought and turned into a railroad themed
restaurant and the freight sheds into different small businesses.
The visitors bureau has an office there now. I pity the poor tourist
trying to find the place.
There is a steam engine and Pullman car there but slowly turning to
rust.
