| Amtrak 52 leads Amtrak train 50, the Eastbound Cardinal through Thurmond, WV. The coaling tower, old abandoned buildings and C&O cantilever signals still stand as reminders of the past at this historic location which is now part of the New River National Historic Park. The building on the right was once the C&O company store, then later the Post Office, now it is one of the many abandoned buildings which makes up the smallest incorporated city in West Virginia, population 7. |
