Gauley Bridge Railroad Station is a historic railroad station in Gauley Bridge, West Virginia. The station was constructed on a Kanawha and Michigan Railroad line in 1893 and later became a Chesapeake and Ohio Railway station. It closed to trains in 1958 and became a fire station for the Gauley Bridge Volunteer Fire Department until it closed permanently in 1973. The station is reflective of company-built small-town railroad stations of its era. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 15, 1980.[2]
