Viewing Album:  Russell Compton RR Museum, Catlettsburg, KY
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:10/17/2012 - 10/17/2012
Album Info:We stopped by this former Chesapeake & Ohio Station while on our winding way home and were pleasantly surprised how nicely maintained the station and caboose are. Catlettsburg was once called where the "river meets the rail." The Catlettsburg Rail Depot, originally part of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, is no longer an active station. Until 1998, Amtrak used to stop at CAT on its Chicago to NYC Cardinal train, but the line now stops in Ashland. Amtrak also utilized Catlettsburg as the termini of the Hilltoper line (a line that operated from 1977 to 1979. It served as an active C&O passenger station from 1904 to 1958. Now it serves as a railroad museum and community center.
