Thanks for sharing Ron.

Great shot - kind of puts it all in perspective just looking at it.

Boy does this photograph bring back memories. My grandparents’ house was on the opposite bank of the Powell River from this station. In the late-40s and early-50s when I would visit them as a little tyke, I would dash to the window EVERY time I heard the whistle of the train coming to a stop at the station. I did not move until it departed. Also, I let the trains mash flat many a penny at the crossing shown in the photo. Appalachia was wonderful place for a train-loving little boy. My grandfather was the trainmaster for the Interstate RR.
