Mullens, WV: Virginian Railyard and Electric Shop

(Satellite, not only is the backshop and yard gone, so is the mainline.)

David A Prasse: Just look at all that Black/Yellow Fairbanks Morse goodness!
Dave Beach: Probably during the July miner’s holiday. What a great shot.

Those VGN EL-2Bs were so cool

I first got a 1967 topo map, but the railroads were labelled N&W. Then I remembered that N&W bought the Virginian, so I got this older map.

I include the newer topo because it shows that the railyard was extensively expanded.
