The
Town
of
Alderson's
Railroad
Depot
is
nearing
the
completion
of
its
remodel.
Now,
there
is
a
book
to
honor
the
history
of
the
structure
and
make
a
difference
in
the
small
town
of
southern West Virginia.
"This
book,
written
by
Thomas
W.
Dixon,
Jr.,
is
the
history
of
100
years
of
the
Chesapeake
and
Ohio
Railroad,
depot,
towers,
and
other
structures.
And
the
thing
we
are
most
proud
of
is
that
on
the
front
cover
is
the
Alderson
Depot,"
said
member
of
Alderson
Main
Street,
Doris Kasley.
For a nominal cost, you can have one of your own.
