Midnight Thunder

The painting is a rendition of a Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad steam engine and train that stopped at the Thurmond Depot during the late 1940s-early 1950s. The town of Thurmond is located in Fayette County, West Virginia in the New River Gorge National River. The painting is in a gold painted wood frame, and on display at the park’s Canyon Rim Visitor Center. The painting was commissioned by Karl Warden, who donated it to the park in 2006.
