==Railroad== {{unreferenced section|date=April 2023}} Ronceverte is a proud railroad town, a part of the [[Chesapeake and Ohio Railway|C&O]] lines that connected [[Pocahontas County, West Virginia|Pocahontas County]] to [[Hinton, West Virginia|Hinton]], and to [[Clifton Forge, Virginia]]. Ronceverte was part of the "Gravel Girtie" line where Hinton-based train cars were sent to the [[limestone]] quarry at [[Fort Spring, West Virginia|Fort Spring]] and loaded with crushed lime. This cargo was sent to Clifton Forge where it fluxed in the large furnaces. During [[World War II]] the tracks carried [[Nazi Germany|German]] [[prisoners of war]] to areas like local farms and projects. One of the [[Train station|depots]] for the area, the Rockland Depot, has been lost to history and only the name of Rockland Road in Ronceverte remains.
