Day 6: The Last Hoorah

Upon our last day for the WV Forest & Rail trip, we finished strong with the final water quality test and a trip to the C&O museum in Clifton Forge, Va.
Greenbrier River near Lewisburg, WV

The data of the water quality may be skewed due to the rain. The data appears the same as the upstream spots that were tested. We visited a spot on the Greenbrier river near Lewisburg, WV. Click here to view the data collected from all the water quality sites.

The final stop was to the C&O museum. This is a great place to learn the history if the railway. What I found interesting is the ad campaign that employed Chessie the cat. The famous logo and statement () helped the C&O achieve prominence with customers in using rail travel. Upon our visit to Cass & Durbin railway, I understood the significance of the campaign.
