"I would say, we're looking at over 100 people coming down there to buy Fresh Food on Fridays," says Nancy Barlow, with the Randolph County Development Authority.

Barlow says the event is a great way to attract people to the Elkins Railyard.

"This means keeping people in downtown Elkins, feeding people in downtown Elkins, getting people to downtown Elkins to see the town square, to see the railyard - to see the welcome center and depot," says Barlow.

In a few months, people will have the option of a sit down restaurant in the town square, too.

The Railyard Restaurant is already serving trains and bus groups, but it's planning to open to the public soon and will serve traditional railroad dishes.

"One of our features is prime rib - that was a feature on a lot of the trains. There's a porkchop with chutney sauce that was featured on the Santa Fe trains and the Pennsylvania railroad had a lot of seafood items and we're featuring a few of those," says President of Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Rail Road, John Smith.

Smith says the restaurant will be yet another way to attract people to the area to ride the trains and see shows at the American Mountain Theater.

Aside from progress at the Railyard Restaurant, there's also work being done at the proposed West Virginia Railroad Museum.

"We brought an excavator out and some dump trucks and we excavated out the old pit so they could set the 82 ton turntable in it and start on the roundhouse," says J.F. Allen Company employee Steve Sherrard.

Smith says the Mountain State Forest Festival and the West Virginia Railroad Museum plan to rebuild the roundhouse that used to be located in Elkins and says the attraction will draw even more tourists to the area.

Smith says the Railyard Restaurant should be open in a couple of months and says it can seat up to 250 people. There's no word on when the railroad museum will open yet.
