Milton
This 1923-24 scene is the depot at "New Milton," built to replace
the Milton Depot when the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway tracks were moved across
the Mud River in 1908-09. The view looks eastward toward Hurricane and St.
Albans. At the right of the photo is the switch tender's house adjacent to
the railroad. The track curving away to the left is the spur which continued
to serve downtown Milton via a bridge until the 1950's. A portion of the
spur continues to serve Blenko Glass Co. in 1999.
