We did have rail service but the Greenbrier was built because of the sulphur waters that were suppose to have healing properities.  There were other resorts in this area support the same cause.  We have Blue, Green, and I believe Yellow Sulphur where the rich would come to bath in there waters.

Could Greenbriar have been the Niagara Falls of its' day?  If the area were close to a stage or rail line, travel to the resort would be relatively simple even if not particularly inexpensive.
