It is home to the Greenbrier Resort, the steam-powered Cass Scenic Railroad, memorable rafting expeditions on the New River, and the spectacular New River Gorge Bridge. It's a state that is 98% mountainous, rich in railroads and coal mines, and known as the westernmost eastern state, the easternmost western state, the northenmost southern state, and the southernmost northern state.
