Lineside structures

On our way back from Steve Shirrell's annual West Virginia meet, we passed through a very small community with a single rail line running through the middle. There are perhaps a half dozen structures still in use that were obviously built to serve the railroad.
Here are some images of a couple of the places I found really interesting.
If anyone lives in north eastern WV or north western VA and wants directions, just drop me a line.

Thanks for adjusting the panoramic shot for me, Shawn.
I really like the way that old warehouse-now-antique-store seems to have gown organically over the years. I think it obvious it was once a simple, rectangular warehouse with a siding.
I'm planning another trip out that way this summer, when the weather is nice and the place is open for business. Perhaps then, I'll get permission from some of the property owners to get shots from all angles as well as some measurements.

You're very welcome Stan. The smaller structure is just begging to be scratchbuilt. (It might even be calling my name.)

My wife and I were back in this same neck o' th' woods this afternoon and I decided to grab some sunset light shots.
