The Development Concept Plan/Interpretive Prospectus describes actions to be taken for resource preservation, interpretation, and economic revitalization in the town of Thurmond, West Virginia, a small community in the northern portion of New River Gorge National River. Thurmond has a significant history as one of the key railroad centers for shipping coal, freight, and passengers on the C&O Railroad during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Although the town has declined in recent decades, it retains much of its historic character and reflects the period of its prominence. It also possesses the only remaining major railroad resources within the national river. Compared to other areas in the park, the town has relatively easy automobile access from West Virginia Route 25, is still on the mainline of the C7O (now CSX) Railroad, and is served by Amtrak.
