Thurmond, WV...ghost town with an Amtrak Station

Once a booming mountain town for service to the railroads, Thurmond is now empty. People live in the surrounding areas; the Depot is a stop for Amtrak along the way from NY to Cincinnati. In the boom years, the rail space was so valuable, the town did not have walk ways.
