This little town fascinated me last year when you were there...and I'm still taken by it! Thanks for going back and showing it to us again!! Would love to see it in person someday.
I just posted Part 2 for this video today. It features a huge ethanol train with UP and CPKCS locomotives and includes an RJ Corman coal train going up the hill to Pax.
@@JawTooth Thank you for the Part 2 video! It's just as good as this one, and I can't tell any difference in your camera settings. Seems just fine to me!
@@backalleyrailroading2835 Thank you for checking. I rode the Cardinal last year and when passing through Thurmond I remember thinking what a beautiful place this would be to stay for a couple of days.
Thurmond, is quite a small town, great to see some of those old buildings preserved, and have a active Amtrak station. I rode Amtrak to the Greenbrier, back when i was a kid and rode through Thurmond, good memories. Not surprising, your new furry friend seems to be very playful. Thanks JT
Howdy JT! Very cool! Back in the late 1990's I rode Amtrak from Fostoria, Ohio to Chicago a couple times. Couldn't believe how smooth and quiet the ride was! Had to catch the train at around 3:00am... so part of me wanted to sleep and part of me wanted to enjoy the ride. Thanks for sharing 🤠
Thanks JT for taking me back to Thurmond, Great town nestled in the WVA Mountains with a coaling tower, post office, and that FANTASTIC freight station! Thanks brother❤
JT........you couldn't pick a better day to visit Thurmond,......wonderful views and work....particularly appreciate the information about the different rail manufacturers and technical info....!! PLEASE DO MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS ONE!....don't forget the pets, seems like they getting along very well.....Kitty makes me laugh every time I see him....... Thanks for sharing........be safe!
thanks for watching! I have another video to post from Thurmond also. I used my other camera but I had it on a wrong setting and the video will be a little shaky. I can't believe I didn't check my settings but it will be up in a day or two. I'm still looking at it
Hearing the river under the bridge reminds me of visiting family in PA. The creeks on their property and rivers nearby. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
@@FabianDiazTrainsTrucksNCars Thanks Fabian! I will have another video that is longer from Thurmond. I will post it in a couple days or so. I had some problems with it and I am still looking at it.
I love your visits to Thurmond. Hopefully, someday there will be restaurants and retail in the strip of buildings. The dogs like the puppy and Vice, versa. Thanks, Jaw Tooth.
Not likely, in this day and age they probably wouldn't be allowed to have businesses in them even if they wanted to have them because of how close they are to the main.
Why would Amtrak build a new platform for a station for a train that very seldom stops there, it only stops there when passengers are getting on or off which are only about 10 or less passengers per month.
Love the locations you pick and that old semaphore signal. You get some great catches, Mr JT Love that little Loki. Years ago I named my friends German Shepherd Loki.
Awesome video of Thurmond, WV. The depo looks like a motel. Boy those are old tracks it's good there going to replace them or it could cause a derailment and that won't be good for little town it would be wiped out. Nice to see amtrack picking up people there. Thanks again dad for the awesome videos.
Just such a quiet laid-back area and with shadows like that in a valley you better make the most time. Just think at the height of Summer tourist season more passengers could board than the town's population
Glad they will stop for me... wouldn't want to have to take a bus to get home... Don't think I could afford the taxi fare. Gracias por tu video, Señor Jaws. RT sends, Puebla, México...
When I was a kid, they had a small engine house there which they used for storage and the subdivision going to Glen Jean/Pax was still in use by Chessie and there was always activity as Thurmond was a small staging yard.
I’m down here in Meridian, Mississippi. I like the videos of the trains running down the streets, the old B and O signals. I still think the old semaphore signals are the best and safest. In an emergency they fall by gravity to horizontal and everything stops
Right near the busy NS crossing! Cool. I normally catch the Cardinal in Maysville. Last year my bro visited from India and we rode to Maysville form Newark NJ. Got delayed in Clifton Forge for 4 hours due to a broken knuckle on a freight!
Thank you, Jaw Tooth. I love Thurmond. It is at the top of my bucket list to take the Cardinal from Oxford, Ohio (whenever they finally build the station here), to Thurmond.
Wow, three railroads run through? Including RJ Corman? I still haven't caught the RJ Corman train here in Spencerville Ohio, I had the opportunity on Thursday but I missed it, I'm hoping to catch it next next Thursday. I'm not really surprised that they run through there, they seem to run in small towns. This town seems nice to live in and quite peaceful.
This was a nice short video of trains that passed through Thurmond, West Virginia in the late afternoon of 30 May 2023, Jaw Tooth! I thought that I remember hearing that the reason that Amtrak's Cardinal passenger trains stop at Thurmond, West Virginia was to "kiss up" to Senator Richard Byrd for him to approve funding from the Federal Government for Amtrak. I am looking forward to your upcoming video on the trains that you saw at Thurmond, West Virginia earlier in the day.
Howdy J.T. !!! that sure is a swell location!! 👀❤ . Thanks for the track lesson on the year made.... nice to know!. I will try some of your other films to watch as well. So Long for now . 6/3/23 🤠 Canada
It sure doesn't seem like it would be worth Amtrak's money to maintain a stop and station at Thurmond but it certainly is a beautiful area. Good catch JT. Love the pets! ❤😊
It doesn't cost Amtrak much if anything at all to maintain a "stop" here. The station is not staffed. The park service owns the building. Since the train goes by here anyhow, it is a "win-win" to take care of any passengers that may want to board or de-train here.
Looks like they'll pull up the switch rail and lay the new rail on the ties. I'm sure there's an FRA defect in the split rail heads. Speaking of rail, the oldest rail I've seen is 1905 and still in use.
Awesome video Jaw Tooth watching enjoying and enjoy the side show too again a awesome video JT 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😃😎♥️ and beautiful country too AWESOME VIDEO ❤
If you can, can you please tell us what the sign on the white house with the flag says please? ... I sooo very much loved this video!!! I enjoy counting the cars☺🚂
Yes, recall your video of coal train. It looks like the depot could have been a combo depot/RR hotel? If this was an old crew change point that is possible? The Corman branch, what was the former RR company? Maybe you mentioned it in previous video? And wait there is more! A train order semaphore signal? Or was it part of the ABS system. No, train order signal manually operated by the telegrapher that used to govern the junction switch. Historic artifact with the new Positive Train Control system. Coal chute to refuel steam locos. Where was the water tank and mainline water cranes? This would sure be a cool location to model, because it is very compact with mainline and passenger traffic. Plus the post office could load and unload rural route US Mail. Thurmond has everything a big RR town would have. 🤓
Hello from the UK. This is a really interesting ghost town. I am wondering why they have invested in upgrading the platform of a railway station of a ghost town with only 5 people living in it. With the restoration of some of the buildings are there plans to bring the town back to life do you know?
Hey Jaw Tooth, Thurmond, West Virginia is a very interesting place and I've seen it on video many times and it is very beautiful and great seeing the Amtrak Train stopping there was great with their passengers was also great glad to see the area again here and another really great video Thank You Jaw Tooth. 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲💨
@@JawTooth Hru old friend? Congrats on your channel blowing up. I’ve been here from the beginning and it blows my mind where you are today. Take care Brian!
@@clearlycaribbeanreb2895 Thanks for your support! I am doing well. I can't believe how big my channel got also. I started just showing the last trains on the Peavine and expanded when ppl started watching. I knew you were here from the start.

Is there a motel or hotel in Thurmond?
@@jackjules7552 After some research I see there are several hotels in the vicinity of Thurmond. Camping as well.

Wow, you really get around! I love seeing all these places that i otherwise would be unlikely to ever see. Thanks.
Thans for watching ! I just posted Part 2 for this video today,
Neat old semaphore signals at the station.
Thurmond is a nice and cozy town. And very scenic. Puppy has such a sweet face. Just adorable❤Have a nice day 😊🌈
Thanks for watching!
I know the 10 Ton limit sign is for the cars but it's amusing to see it attached to a railroad bridge.😄
Thanks for today’s video in the ghost town. Always appreciated your videos. Enjoy the weekend and see you on the next, Brian! 🙂👍🇺🇸
Thanks for watching and have a great weekend also!
Beautiful little town.

Hey JT, you are an amazing guy I love watching your videos of trains in some of the nicest places on the planet great job 😊😊😊
That's one of my favorite spots. Very pleasant rural feel to it, punctuated by multi-thousand ton coal trains
Don't care for the coal trains...wish there were no need for them, with better jobs elsewhere.
Thanks JT for taking me back to Thurmond, Great town nestled in the WVA Mountains with a coaling tower, post office, and that FANTASTIC freight station! Thanks brother❤
Awesome! I Saw 3 CSX Trains There Back In July.
Cool! You got lucky. I am going to go back soon and try to get a few coal trains there
That's a scenic area. I agree, that Thurmond depot is really neat looking. I would love to see it in person. Great video!
Thanks for watching!😊

What a great station building! So great to see Amtrak serving Thurmond and such rural areas.
I rode Amtrak through here a couple of times and it is really awesome!
@Jaw Tooth next time your in the area stop by the station Prince WV. There is a chessie cat in the floor of the waiting area.
I worked sleepers on 50/51 in both single level and Superliner equipment.
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo et très bon week-end ! ✨✨👍
Hearing the river under the bridge reminds me of visiting family in PA. The creeks on their property and rivers nearby. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Thanks for watching!
Very nice video, greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Hello in Brazil!
Good Morning JT, great video, love all the information shared
You're doing your homework Mr. Tooth and enlightening us all. Renovations? Wonder if any rentals will be available? The smaller the town the better.
Thanks for watchibg!
Fun Fact! There's an elevator in that station! Hard to Believe! 😂 Awesome Video JT! Keep Up the Great Work!
wow, I did not know that. I have been in there a few times and never saw it. I will look for it next time and put it in a video. Thanks for watching !
@@FabianDiazTrainsTrucksNCars Thanks Fabian! I will have another video that is longer from Thurmond. I will post it in a couple days or so. I had some problems with it and I am still looking at it.

Very interesting video, brother. My kids are always excited when you drop a video.

The track noise at the end was interesting, as was the worn out railhead.
Thanks for watchibg!!
The center looks more like an old Motel .
Great catch looking good my brother…hope all is well…miles of sunshine smiles…Reekashade.
Love the horn echo! Now, imagine that with steam.....
Thanks for watchibg!
Have a great weekend my friend
Love the locations you pick and that old semaphore signal. You get some great catches, Mr JT
Love that little Loki. Years ago I named my friends German Shepherd Loki.
Cool, thanks!
That beautiful humming sound of the cars from the first CSX train
That was cool! Thats the welded rail for you

I was there a few years ago.
The lighting in this video with Am track pulling in was fun to watch!
Thank you!
why did you visit thurmond ?
@@BRIANDER100 it was there
Hi Jaw Tooth! Great video! Thurmond is a neat old place.
Such a special place.
Just such a quiet laid-back area and with shadows like that in a valley you better make the most time. Just think at the height of Summer tourist season more passengers could board than the town's population
The park rangers give tours of the town. They get small groups of ppl
Thanks for another great video JT, and enjoyed the track inspection, you make it so interesting.
Thanks!
Great one JT. Thurmond is a great location and you showed some pretty interesting things. Thanks.
My pleasure!!
Glad they will stop for me... wouldn't want to have to take a bus to get home... Don't think I could afford the taxi fare. Gracias por tu video, Señor Jaws. RT sends, Puebla, México...
❤ your train video! Beautiful area !!! Thanks 🙏🏼 for filming!!!
Thank you very much!
Some awesome catches as well as a great locations! Nice job!
Thanks for watching!
Great vid JT. Was just thinking that I miss the applause and laugh tracks.
Man that is a beautiful place
When I was a kid, they had a small engine house there which they used for storage and the subdivision going to Glen Jean/Pax was still in use by Chessie and there was always activity as Thurmond was a small staging yard.
how many people in your class at school ?
@@BRIANDER100 I didn't live in Thurmond. I lived in Beckley.

Very nice!
Really enjoyed the look of the tracks and the depot and the history.
Thanks!
I really love this spot , Great 👍 vid , take care 🚂🚂🚂
Wow, that train station looks really similar to the ones here in Sweden. Very neat!
Thanks for watching!
I was on the Coast Starlight last summer going to Seattle. #171 was the power on it. Those units get around!
Thank you, Jaw Tooth. I love Thurmond. It is at the top of my bucket list to take the Cardinal from Oxford, Ohio (whenever they finally build the station here), to Thurmond.
Has anything ever happened with the Cardinal stop at Oxford? Just wondering if that has happened yet
It sounds like Thurmond has fewer residents than the number of people on board Amtrak trains.
🤠👍 Ive heard there are only 4 fulltime residents in Thurmond .
Wow, three railroads run through? Including RJ Corman? I still haven't caught the RJ Corman train here in Spencerville Ohio, I had the opportunity on Thursday but I missed it, I'm hoping to catch it next next Thursday.

He have absolutely awesome video with trains 😊
Great video. I was there when they ran PM 1225 and Nickel Plate 765 on a double header several years ago. Was a great location to watch that
that would have been awesome! I was there last fall for the New River Train
Hey JawTooth great video
Interesting history
It sure doesn't seem like it would be worth Amtrak's money to maintain a stop and station at Thurmond but it certainly is a beautiful area. Good catch JT. Love the pets! ❤😊
Amtrak will never get rid of this station
It doesn't cost Amtrak much if anything at all to maintain a "stop" here. The station is not staffed. The park service owns the building. Since the train goes by here anyhow, it is a "win-win" to take care of any passengers that may want to board or de-train here.
That is the value of public interest services. They should be recognized and appreciated more!
Looks like they'll pull up the switch rail and lay the new rail on the ties. I'm sure there's an FRA defect in the split rail heads. Speaking of rail, the oldest rail I've seen is 1905 and still in use.
Great catches and nice video
Nice catch, JT! Nice to see that the town may be coming back!
Thanks for watching!
Cool spot for rail fanning!
