The purpose of the blog is to keep a record of my experience of the forest and rail in West Virginia. For my whole life I have been surrounded by individuals from my family that have been involved in dealing with lumber. I am thrilled to be part of this program to learn the history and the economics behind WV gforest. As I am a biology teacher I hope to be able to implement the content into my biology class.
Today I learned the history of the B&O railroad and the type of trains needed to get up a 11% grade. Informative presentation that talked about the history of the type of trains.
I really enjoyed his knowledge and comments on railroads of the area.
