Please feel free to steam around
the site at your convenience and explore the history of this 38 miles of
track that ran from near Greenup (Riverton) through Argillite, Grayson, Hitchins, to
Webbville (1865-1933). The museum link houses photographs of E.K.
Railway artifacts. Photographs taken along the old rail path can be viewed
in the E.K. Photos section. If you are interested in joining the Eastern
Kentucky Railway Historical Society and helping to preserve this important
part of Eastern Kentucky history, please click on the E.K.R.Y. Historical
Society icon! The news link will provide E.K. in the news information. You
will be able to purchase new and used books as well as photographs under the
E.K.R.Y. Store link. The LINKS section will list some of our favorite

If you would like more than this website provides,
why not purchase a copy of the book "Eastern Kentucky Railway"? In it you

of this little railway.
My friend, Jim Powers and I, have completed a new book
"Ashland". In this publication are over two hundred rare photographs and
postcard views of Eastern Kentucky's largest city.
