RONCEVERTE............not far from Snowflake.
'bout 6 miles East and upriver.......they had a stone quarry there and
over the years removed a limestone mountain and provided ballast
for railroad bed construction.....I had Uncles who worked there, way back....
don't think it is there now......I remember their homes and the "company store" where their purchases were with company script.
 
RONCEVERTE............not far from Snowflake.
Here's Google Maps "Snowflake, WV"....we use to walk through the railroad tunnel to get there from Fort Springs...notice that the limestone mountain is gone..:D

Here's where I grew up....just East of Ronceverte above the Greenbrier River.....home was burned down but you can see a mobile home and the old barn.....the house was between them......you can zoom out and scroll to the left to see Ronceverte and the river....:D

Just off Teaberry Road.
Yes, actually adjoining Teaberry Road (State Rte. 45) which runs between Ronceverte and Lewisburg.
We refer to it as the "backroad" and it kinda' runs along the Greenbrier River, where there are a couple roads that run down to the railroad/river. We grew up fishing and swimming the Greenbrier......:D Thanks for asking.
