Princeton is actually a stop
you can reach before you get all the way into Bluefield. When you get off of
interstate 77 at exit 9, you are in Princeton. To get to the Railroad Museum, turn right onto Rt. 460 west (towards
Bluefield) then
take a right at the second light. After less then 25 yards, take a
left at the stop sign, this will put you onto Rt. 104. Go straight
through the stoplight (next to Allen’s supermarket) onto WV Rt. 20 (Thorn St). After 1.6
miles, turn right onto US Rt. 19/WV Rt. 20 and then a left to stay on US Rt.
19. The Princeton Railroad Museum is 0.5 miles ahead.
The Railroad museum of Princeton has a lot of really neat
“artifacts” from the coal mining era. Plan to spend about an hour
here, and relish the fact that you are still in a sizable city.
