Exploring the History of the Abandoned B&O Railroad Station in Paw Paw, West Virginia
Join me as I explore the history of the old Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) Railroad Station in Paw Paw, West Virginia — once a small but vital stop along one of America’s earliest and most influential railroads. In this video, we uncover what remains of the historic station, discuss its role in the growth of the B&O line through the Appalachians, and reflect on how the railroad shaped the town of Paw Paw and the surrounding Potomac River valley.
From the days of steam locomotives and canal competition to its decades of disuse, this forgotten piece of railroad history still whispers stories of a bygone era.
If you love railroad history, abandoned places, or exploring the remnants of America’s industrial past, this video is for you.
