The former C&O passenger depot, at 11th Street and Carter Avenue, had been completed in 1925 but abandoned in the 1970s in favor of a downsized depot in nearby [[Catlettsburg, Kentucky|Catlettsburg]].<ref name="HIS_ASHLAND_1954"/> The rail lines to the building have since been removed. Today the building itself serves as the downtown branch of [[PNC Bank]]. Passenger rail service was moved from Catlettsburg to the Ashland Transportation Center in March 1998.
