Waiting for the Baltimore & Ohio Train at the Morgantown Railroad Depot. This spot is now the hub of the Mon River and Deckers Creek Rail-Trails at Hazel Ruby McQuain Park. Trains ran from Fairmont to Pittsburgh, PA and from Morgantown to Rowlesburg, WV hauling freight and passengers. Happy Historic Preservation month!

Brian A DeBiase: A picture of the last time public restrooms where open along the trail.

Jim Kelling shared with the comment: "Morgantown WV (B&O station)."

Jim Kelling: It’s still standing but looks somewhat different now.

Dennis DeBruler commented on Jim's added comment
 It looks very different, https://maps.app.goo.gl/Fgw8A17LEiN9jFZt6.

Jim Kelling: Dennis DeBruler maybe it’s not the same structure, although it is an old one, perhaps remodeled at some point.

Northbound traffic on the FM&P line is stopped at the Morgantown depot as a crane has the tracks fouled in the 70s.  Tracks are now gone and the truss bridge in the background has been replaced.
