  • A shame they no longer run to Berkeley Springs! I was there photographing the station on New Year's Day 2009. I would assume, when the passenger trains still ran there, they would have been "push-pull" down the branch as I noticed no signs of a turntable or wye behind the station. I also would assume the freights to the sand plant operate that way. The sand plant is impressive-at least whatever I can see from US 522.

  • Is the tracks still there or are they gone?
