I can think of two specific exemples, not C&O related, but confirming what other said.
On Quebec Central's Valley-Junction Station, the hand car shed was integrated to the passenger station, near the freight depot. On QRL&PCo, it was located almost in front of a passenger station directly on the other side of the track. My understanding is that these stations worked as important places on subdivision, thus explaining the reason why a crew would be dispatched there.
Waiting for more informed opinion, I also have the same dilemna on my layout.
