The year was 1940, and Dad was 4yrs old. Grandpa had found work at the Newport Steel Mill. So it was time to transplant himself and the family to where the work was going to be. And there were a couple of way to travel from the hills of Eastern Appalachia. One was by automobile or one was by train. As a little boy it would have been an adventure and thrill to ride a passenger train to a new location. They traveled from Jackson to Covington. The Covington station was still being used to load and off load passengers. The building was restored in recent years, and now is used an attorney's office.
