West Virginia Secondary
My nephew is visiting and we have been busy looking around at various Ohio railroads. These photos show some of the West Virginia Secondary, a NS line that runs from Columbus to Charleston, WV.
We started at New Lexington and ended up on the Ohio river.
About half way down the line, on Ohio route 13, near Glouster, we stopped to look at the coal conveyor crossing the highway. While there were no cars being loaded, it was interesting to look at. Possible modeling idea here.
The off we went on our jaunt and eventually we stopped where the line crosses the Ohio river.
Across the river is Point Pleasant, WV and on the Ohio side we are near Kanauga, OH. Also nearby is the CSX railroad.
Unfortunately, we didn't see any trains on our little jaunt. To railfan this line you will need a scanner to listen for movements. Or just plain luck.
