 Beginning with the arrival of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad 's South Branch line to Romney in the 1880s , a passenger train conducted three trips daily ( morning , noon , and evening ) from the Romney Depot at Valley to Green Spring on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad 's main line . During the 1930s , passenger ridership on the South Branch line began to decline , and passenger service was finally discontinued shortly thereafter . A special passenger train carried students of the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind , arriving at Romney Depot in Valley in the fall , and departing in the spring to take the students home . The last special train to transport the students of the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind departed Romney Depot in the spring of 1941 . Freight operations from Romney Depot later ceased , and the station was closed and demolished soon after .
