Mountain Rail WV offers the "Elkins Murder Mystery Wine Train" ride from this depot. The "New Tygart Flyer" also runs from this depot. That is a 4-hour, 46 mile round trip.

I wonder where they park their train when it is not being used.

Some Class I railroad used the depot stub to store their MoW equipment?

If I'm not mistaken the turntable at Frostburg came from there.

On the left is the depot and inside the fence is the turntable.

The roundhouse was destroyed by fire in 1983.

According to a topo map and the 2004 SPV Map, all four railroad "spokes" were WM. The spoke to the west was the Coal & Coke (C&C), which became the B&O. Evidently the western spoke was shared by WM and B&O.
