Rail service cut threatens mail deliveries in region
Residents protested proposed discontinuance of several Chesapeake and Ohio Railway passenger trains. At a Public Service Commission hearing, eight residents from Mt. Hope and Oak Hill argued that halting two daily trains between Thurmond and Mt. Hope would disrupt mail and parcel post. Logan County riders urged that the service is used, while the company argued it lacks sufficient traffic to justify continued operation. A Fayetteville attorney and a union representative cross examined witnesses as testimony cited declining passenger traffic in the affected areas.
