Thurmond Depot

Thurmond West Virginia

Thurmond, West Virginia From Wikipedia

Thurmond Depot, now a New River Gorge National River visitor center, and a single track bridge which crosses the New River.
Thurmond is a town in Fayette County, West Virginia, United States, on the New River. The population was 7 at the 2000 census.
During the heyday of coal mining in the New River Gorge, Thurmond was a prosperous town with a number of businesses and facilities
for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. The town was the filming location for John Sayles' 1987 movie Matewan since it still possesses many of the characteristics of a 1920s Appalachian coal mining town.
