WV Rail-fan is great website that explains the history of railways.It also keeps an up to date perspective on how the railways are used in the 21st century. This site does a great job to give an overview of the historical B&O railroad. One interesting fact is the decline in mileage of WV railway. This is due to the abandonment of lines that are unproductive or lines that supplied old logging/coal camps.

ReplyDeleteI really like what you've done with your blog. Keep up the good work. I think it will make a valuable tool for your students.
ReplyDeleteI was checking out your links on the side. Those websites are great. Your blog is very informative. I am really going to try and focus on the railways part of this trip. I have mostly boys in my "self-contained" class...I really think this will help strike their interest. Thanks for being on top of "our" game. No...seriously...thanks Brian. I'm going to have my students look at these websites today.
