This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the bustling activity of a railroad yard in Williamson, West Virginia, in October 1935. The scene is a testament to the region's rich coal mining heritage and the vital role the railroad played in transporting the precious resource to markets across the United States. 3. In the foreground, coal cars, their sides heaped high with black coal, are neatly arranged in rows, waiting to be hitched to trains for their journey eastward. The air is thick with the smell of coal and the sound of clanging metal and hissing steam as workers prepare the cars for departure. 4. The railroad yard, a hive of industry, is surrounded by the Appalachian Mountains, their verdant peaks providing a striking contrast to the industrial scene below. The landscape is dotted with small houses and the occasional church or general store, hinting at the community that thrived around the railroad. 5.
