Notes
  • Significance: Beginning in the 18880s, railroads played a major role in opening the interior of West Virginia for coal and timber exploitation, which in turn helped shift population centers and wealth to the State's central and southern counties. These two relatively rare stone bridges are located on a B.O. branch line built in 1909 during the final phase of West Virginia railroad development. The line contributed to the development of Gassaway and Sutton, West Virginia.
