To Grafton

Sunnyvale is located at the head of the Paston Valley, where the valley bends to the west and opens up a bit, to plentiful southern exposure.  Beyond Sunnyvale, there isn’t much of note until the line reaches Grafton, WV, one hub of the B&O.

To Paston Valley

 

Through traffic to the B&O and its customers northwest or northeast of Grafton still gets routed through Sunnyvale, while some coal marshalling for Paston mines goes on here.  The old turntable is still in working order, with facilities used for repair of WP&P alcos.  In 1971, N&W is no longer a fan of Alco diesels, so the RS and RSD’s tend to stay on the Winchester Division.
