Remarks & Notes |
Norfolk Southern's "Dump Train" loads raw coal at Westmoreland Coal's Holton Complex. The "Dump Train" operated between Holton, located on a spur off the ex-Southern's St. Charles Branch, and Stonega, located on the ex-Interstate. The coal was processed and cleaned at Stonega; it was loaded into unit trains leaving the southwest Virginia hills. |
