Rail Landmark To Vanish In Nelsonville Rail Yard
Workers from Coakley Construction begin razing the old Hocking Valley and C and O depot that once hubbed Nelsonville coal traffic with 60 to 70 trains a day. The 1880s station, linked to canal era life and the Jim Jefferies fight murder, marks the town's fading rail era as autos end passenger service.
