[PRCo] MWP 776

[dwightlong]

More than I thought.  I should have guessed Fairmont was larger than I had in mind by the amount of city service M WP operated there.

Correct, Morgantown was not a M WP city, but there is a connection.  Some of their more modern cars went to M WP.  One of them, or more accurately the remains of one, is at Seashore.  I believe it is 115.

What year do you wish to discuss?  

All three major MWP cities in West by god Virginia were very close to the same population:

                                    1910              1920             1940            1945 WAG          today

     Fairmont, WV           9,711           17,851          23,105           30,000             18,750
     Clarksburg, WV        9,201           27,869          30,579           32,100             16,200
     Parkersburg WV     17,842           20,050          30,103          30,200              31,000

     Marietta, Ohio         12,923           15,140          14,543          16,000              14,000

I did not bother to dig out anything for Morgantown, Wheeling, Bluefield, Princeton, etc., because they are not MWP towns.

  Did Fairmount have that much of a downtown?  Perhaps so.  I just assumed it was Clarksburg (but definitely not at the terminal there).

  Looks like the end of the line at the terminal in a very fair mountain.   :<)     I would be tempted to say a print that came from the Barney Neuberger collection.
