This photo of another heavy pacific in Terminus, shows some the famous arches that were so well known as part of Underground Terminus.  The city of Terminus was built up a level from the original city, therefore allowing streets to cross over the rail line and eliminate grade crossings.  This made for some very interesting scenes, especially as photograph from the so-called Terminus railroad gulch.

P5 2916 and P5a 2922 sit with southbound passenger trains at Terminus Terminal Station, sometimes in the late '20s. Both engines were regular passenger power on the line from the mid '20s through the '50s. This scene would be repeated daily for years to come. 2922 has The Southbound Bluefield Flyer while 2916 is in from the Point Pleasant Branch with #7.  Both trains are bound for Bluefield.

Original power for the Bluefield Flyer came in the form of 4 beautiful little Atlantic type 4-4-2s.  1571 is seen here on the main line at Mount Frigid, pausing for a photo, possibly for use as a publicity photo. The train moved fast and sported a Victorian style coach/baggage combine, a very fine coach with a women's dressing area attached to the women's restroom and a parlor/observation car.  When the railroad wanted to replace the consist with heavyweight equipment, the 4-4-2s proved not powerful enough.  in 1910, light pacifics 915 and 916 became the standard power for the train. They were finally replaced by the larger P5s in 1923.
