June/July 2007 In this issue..

Quinnimont, West Virginia -- Imagine, if you will, that you are traveling west on a C&O passenger train, Local #13 sometime in the fall of 1947... In moments more buildings, including a water tank, are visible, and the train comes to a stop, which the conductor has announced to be "Quinnimont". After a brief stop the train moves out again, but never really gains any speed before it stops again at "Prince". Again a short stop, a leisurely departure, and a trip through an unexpected tunnel before you are again cruising the banks of the rushing river. You probably don't realize it, but you've just passed through two of the most interesting locations in the entire New River Gorge.
