Kanawha River Railroad updates
Author: inCHI

On Facebook I've seen photos showing WATCO Kanawha River Railroad engines getting decals in Elmore Yard in Elmore, WV. Three SD45's (SD40-2s) and an ex- K&O "GP39" were shown. I didn't realize that WATCO was getting the portion from Deepwater to Elmore, with its steep grades and tight curves. I'm wondering if they will end up just using run through NS power on the coal that still moves that way.

They have leased 6 SD60s from us on the NS to use for pushers somewhere on that line.

Thanks, someone else confirmed that as well. I believe they would be pushers out of Deepwater, since it is a steep grade to head south on the P-D to Elmore Yard.
