Due to the flood damage, here you see a section of the old B&O Railroad that had not been visible since the 1960's. The train station used to be here. On the right side you see ticket booth for the now defunct Fayette Central Railroad. |

With all the debris here it is hard to imagine that this is a bridge and that a creek does flow underneath it. There used to be a catwalk with handrails here and the power of the floods knocked that out. |

A handrail that has survived since the days of the B&O was no match for the floodwaters of Dunbar Creek. Here you can see that at one time this line had two tracks. |
