Names of Shortlines in WV and VA-Cedar, WV

[NW Mailing List]

Cedar has ceased to exist.

It was inside Cranberry. I drove up cedar road just
off of Rt 16, or what I love to call Robert Byrd.

I followed it for about 4 miles.....It is gone. That
is, as of 2008.

BUT, on older topo maps, it is still displayed near
some N&W rails.....

Hope this helps.
