Tonight we had Bob Withers. author and railroad historian, talk to us about the history behind the railroads and logging in WV. He explained the difference between traditional steam engines and steam engines used in logging. As many times as I've ridden the train at Cass, I didn't realize that the trucks were different. I've learned so much AGAIN about WV that I had no clue about! I think this class is going to be just as interesting as the Coal project!
I really enjoyed his knowledge and comments on railroads of the area.
