Not a lot online about it. There are several good books on the WM and
the WV Coal & Coke.
In the early days, the Coal & Coke Railway was the big line that went
west out of here. It later became part of the B&O. The Western Maryland
came south through Thomas into Elkins, then went south to connect with
the C&O at Durbin. The WM had a large hopper rebuilding facility here.
Later, it all became part of CSX, who shut it all down in the 1980s.
Take care
