Thurmond Station

The two-story wooden-framed Thurmond station, built in 1904 for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O, succeeded by CSXT), still stands in this small town and is used as a National Park Service visitor center, open during summer months, for the New River Gorge National River. The station, restored in 1995, once served both as depot and offices for the C&O., The yardmaster's office on the west end overlooks Thurmond's West Yard; the office has been restored with authentic furniture, fixtures, and equipment from the early 1900s. The Trainmaster's and Ticket Master's offices have also been restored and present museum exhibits relating to Thurmond and the railroad.
It is at the end of a 7 mile narrow winding road
