My granddaddy H.D Cheek was chief dispatcher of the Clinchfield at Erwin until 1955. Played on the locomotives in the Erwin yard as they awaited scrapping. What fun. I had the biggest train set of any kid.

Back when the Applications let you know you were truly in Mountaineer country.

Do you have any videos of the Delaware, Lackawanna, and western railroad? Been looking around your channel for a while and couldn’t find any but would love to see some. Keep up the good work you’re doing!

[@Railfan88]

Is this the same video that has footage of a ride on a speeder and the kids playing on a rope bridge? If so I had this same video on tape a long time ago.
