This is a full history of this very important C&O terminal tucked in between the New River and the hillside at the junction of the Allgehany Subdivision from the east and the New River Subdivision from the west. For the first time, a complete chronological history of C&O’s activities in this important terminal are treated, along with the buildings and facilities that were used here. Of all C&O terminals, Hinton is one of the most interesting, being a veritable citadel of mountain railroading, yet it seldom has been treated in articles, and the photographic record is very slim. This book puts it all together.

The Author:  Thomas W. Dixon, Jr. has studied and written about C& O subjects for many years. He organized and has served as president of the Chesapeake & Ohio Historical Society since its inception in 1969. He has authored or co-authored 18 books, mostly on C& O subjects and hundreds of magazine articles and pamphlets.
