Has anyone seen the movie Matewan? It's and older film based on the coal mine wars in Southern West Virginia in the 1920's. It is shot on the C&O line in the New River Gorge and uses Nickel Plate 765. The town scenes are in the town of Thurmond, WV which was a major shipping place on the C&O back in the day. one scene shows 765 going across the bridge at Hawks Nest.
