This book outlines the history of railroading in West Virginia from the earliest entry of Baltimore & Ohio into what was then western Virginia up to the 1860s. In addition to B&O, Chesapeake & Ohio, Western Maryland, Norfolk & Western, and Virginian have major chapters. Smaller sections cover the New York Central, short lines, logging railroads, and others that had only a smaller presence in the state. Coal mining and lumbering, of course, tie in directly with most West Virginia railroads. Photos, maps, and illustrations tell the story in addition to history that links the various parts of West Virginia railroading into a coherent narrative. This is the first in a series of five books on the railroads in the Mountain State.
