Whittaker Station is located four miles up the track from Cass. At Whittaker Station – the location of the authentic logging camp recreated by the volunteers of the Mountain State Railroad & Logging Historical Association, passengers have the opportunity to get off the train to enjoy the views, purchase lunch and tour the camp. Restrooms and a concession stand are available at this stop.
Both are very worthwhile! Go to Pies and Pints in Fayetteville while you are there. Excellent pizza.
. Who is signing up for that ride
HHD is quite a haul from Lewisburg...much easier to make that a stop, if you attend next years SEO Ramble.
Don, whatever you do, don't go driving in the hinterlands of West-BY GOD - Virginia without taking some dramine along. Dizziness is dangerous behind the wheel...with or without alcohol.
That's where I had planned to go, glad to hear it's a good stop. Thanks!
Yes it is paved, but there are some knarley switchbacks. Just take is slow. I was going to suggest taking the old route over Fayette Station bridge. Either way, make sure you stop at the New River Gorge Bridge/Canyon Rim visitors center. We were just there the beginning of the month.
...with all of the great roads in WV, I personally wouldn't spend the day riding the slab back and forth to HHD (been there twice during the SEO Rambles). Now you could take back roads there and back...if you want to have some fun.
Thanks again! Yes, we are going there (visitors center) as I believe that's where you sign up for the bridge walk. We plan on making a day of it.
Thurmond, where a lot of the outdoor scenes in "Matewan" were shot, is an interesting place to visit also https://www.nps.gov/neri/planyourvisit/thurmond.htm
