I knew from the thumbnail it was Thurmond. Very nice mood shot made interesting by the station's paint job. Is that an authentic shade? I doubt the denizens of Thurmond's hell-raising era would recognize the place being so "purty and all"!

The scenery is just beautiful, though that bridge seems rather large for a branch line.

Agreed, This Station looks absolutely stunning. Thanks for sharing Don, nice work.

I'm not sure about the original colours but judging from other stations in the area such as Durbin and the former Marlinton station the colour seems to follow a definate pattern. After spending all the money they did I would think it was done to match C&O practice. I was told the line to the right leads to a coal mine, hence the heavy bridge.

Now, IF ONLY somebody would open a "bunkhouse" B&B on the second floor, so there was somewhere to stay in Thurmond.
