Matewan, West Virginia, railway depot, 1930s

Two views of the original depot looking from both directions Present day view

This yard scene shows the major industry of West Virginia, coal.  Trains still carry it, but not nearly as much as in the past.

Today a replica of the Matewan train station building has been placed nearby to serve as a visitor center and museum.

Matewan was the setting for one of the largest and most violent industrial actions in American history -- miners versus the mine companies.  It was turned into this critically acclaimed movie from 1987:

preserved East German 'kriegslok' 2-10-0 with a train of hopper cars

 A 52 class which takes part in Plandampf where steam locomotives haul actual freight trains as events for railfans -- no doubt it's seen as good for public relations by the DB.  See earlier posts.

It looks to be about 1938. One thing you can't help noticing is how dark a lot of buildings are -- the effects of factories' coal smoke?

DR double-deck suburban cars, East Germany

No date, but it looks like a steam locomotive on the right, so probably 1970s.  The amalgated DB in 1993-1994 repainted these in the red livery.
