Continuing our showcase of the city's railroad heritage, the first Saturday of each month, volunteers from the C&O Historical Society will be onsite working and greeting the public at the historic structure preserved by the City of St. Albans. Whether you want to enjoy a day of history with our non-profit organization or find a historic gift, we are your source!With our O-scale model train layout running, model trains have successfully returned to the historic St. Albans depot. Fueled by our generous C&OHS volunteers and local community support, the progress being made on the operating layout and new interpretive museum has put life back into the city's one-of-a-kind depot. As trains rumble by, finer details are being added every week to enhance the layout's scenery that represents St. Albans.
The regions of St. Albans and South Charleston are the focus of this layout developed for the public's enjoyment in western Kanawha County. Each month, the young and young at heart enjoy the vivid rumble of trains through western Kanawha County.
When not watching trains, take home books for $1 or a unique piece of history with the Blenko Glass Company suncatchers manufactured in Cobalt Blue to represent St. Albans Junior High School. In addition, railroad books and other memorabilia will be available in support of the St. Albans Depot.
Answers to your railroading questions and photos will also be part of the event, and as always, stories from the C&O Railway to Amtrak will be told to all in attendance by current and retired railroaders.
