Transportation in addition to the B. and O. and the B. and N. railroad (the latter now building) the Morgantown and Kingwood railroad extends eastward through the Deckers Creek and Cheat River valleys to Rowlesburg, opening up to development vast coal, timber, lime, stone and sand deposits, all of which have tended to increase Morgantown's business and commercial advantages.
