If a switchstand could tell its story, I certainly wouldn't mind hearing the tales this one could tell. A story of one of the busiest lumber mills in WV, of countless Shays treading soft overhead and of the heavier pounding from C&O locomotives.

All the while, the switchstand watches, and serves its purpose in silent anonymity.
