Good afternoon.
I am hoping that the group can provide some information for my cousin who is doing some family history.
Does anyone know if any railroad offered passenger service to Kayford, WV?
Kayford was a coal camp located in the Cabin Creek "hollow" not far from Charleston, WV. Since C&O had main lines that followed the Kanawha River and eventually the New River and points east, I would imagine that any passenger rail service to Kayford would be provided by the C&O. I'm confident that freight rail service was available at Kayford since the mine was large enough for the company to build the town to support the mine.
If passenger service was available at Kayford, where would exchanges take place for anyone heading for Ashland, KY?
We really appreciate any information that the group can provide.
Thanks.
