Ghost of the B&O |
| Description: |
Originally the Coal and Coke Rwy, this route was later the B&O Grafton-Charleston line. Out of service for well over twenty years, the section between Charleston and Blue Creek hopes to see life again as the Charleston, Blue Creek and Sanderson Rwy. What a major undertaking it will be to rebuild as this scene suggests. |
