Re: (rshsdepot) Hobson Ohio Depot - six feet under
John,
I am Don Mills of Huntington, WV.
I am so glad to finally get some information from you concerning the Hobson
area. I have been working for almost two years on putting together a book
on the Kanawha & Michigan railroad. I have all the written word but would
like to have a huge picture file contained inside. I am also interested in
any stories of those men and women who worked for the railroad. I enjoyed
looking at the pictures you have on the Meigs page and have put it on my
favorites list. I would like to get with you and show you some of the
pictures that I have been able to get and to possibily get some that you
might have. I recently found 5 K&M lanterns in one place and got pictures
of all and have found a T&OC time table that mentions the K&M, K&WV, Z&W on
it.
I found the history of the K&M bridge to be facinating. Especially when I
discovered that its building was financed by the witch of wall street. I
had another man show me the old K&M hospital in Pt. Pleasant.
The handcar picture. I could not make out the writing on the handcar
itself, is that a railroad handcar or a private one.
