Could anyone either post a photo, or give me a link to a good photo of the old Kenova, W.Va station that served both the C&O/N&W?

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Regards!

You might also try the associated Historical Societies,
I’m sure they would have some good photographs.

I don’t have the N & W’s in front of me,but the C & O Historical Society;

Didn’t the B&O use the same station?

I believe the B & O had a station in downtown Huntington,
don’t think they went west to Kenova to this one.

Yes the B&O used the combined station.Kenova was the farthest point west that I know of the B&O going.An old head engineer who I work with hired in at the Union station at 16 years of age.He’s now 71 or 72.He was a baggage boy or something.He’s currently off sick,but while working was the last steam engineer that I know of that was still working on the old N&W.The old Union Hotel was torn down around 10 years ago.It was on the corner across from the station.About all that’s left of the two story platform up to the N&W bridge is a few concrete pillars on the ground.[:(].But good luck on your search.[:D]
