Well that was kind of interesting if one is in to old towns and rail road history.
i grew up about 25mi from there on the Kanawha river. the Kanawha starts at the confluence of the New river and the Gauley river at Gauley Bridge just at the start of the New River Gorge. as a teenager i did a lot of smallmouth bass fishing all along those rivers. my dad had many stories about thurmond. after he met my mother and joined the church i dont think he went there anymore. during those times you had to ride the train to get there, someone must have built a road in there because i saw cars in the video.
Great video thanks..
I watched that yesterday. Somewhere in there it says 15 passenger trains a day went through there. It must have been a busy place.
I ended up watching 3 of those videos.
I watch a lot of such YouTube videos I have seen that one before my oldest son is a train fanatic he is out west now doung photography on a rail line about to merge and chance thre names
