I've built a model of the station, and wish to put in an interior. Does anyone know what the inside looked like? If so I'd appreciate the help. |

It will be interesting to see where the new siding will go in. Rebuilding an old? clearing new land? So many possibilities |

The first train of CWR since last year was out this morning. They dropped new rail from at least Pierce to just before the West end approach of the Mingo Creek Viaduct. The stick rail is going away. |

I've also been invited to do a talk on the PWV line from Rook to Connelsville next month. I'll be using my Wheeling photos for it. |

Thank you. The modern Wheeling is my favorite one to railfan. Plus I do enjoy looking at the construction the PWV undertook to build the hi line. |
