Payphone at Interstate 81 Rest Area - Falling Waters, West Virginia - Payphones on Waymarking.com

A working payphone that accepts incoming calls is hung on an interior lobby wall of the public restroom building at the Interstate 81 (southbound) Welcome Center in Falling Waters, West Virginia.

The touch-tone, single-slot payphone is of typical modern design - a metal body powder coated in black with chrome face plate, coin box (lower right), and coin return slot (lower left) components, a black ABS plastic handset with a flexible stainless steel cord (32 inches), and 12-push button keypad. Its partial enclosure is a minimal shell of blue laminate with an aluminum rim. A steel work shelf installed immediately below the phone spans the enclosure at about two feet wide and ten inches deep. An Ultratec TTY keyboard and display system drawer is at the bottom of the unit. A window card beneath the coin slot lists Interstate Telecommunications, Inc. of Cummings, Georgia, as the operator. Local calls are 50 cents.

I dialed the phone number twice. First, as I was standing next to it to check for the in-coming ringtone - it has a classic bell ringer. The other call was a few minutes later from out of sight (back in my car) to see if a random passerby would pick up -- and he did! He was a good sport, too.
