Anyone know a re-open date?
Last time we spoke to the WE folks they were hopeful,
that they may get a piece Coke/Coke bye-product traffic from USS.
It will need some Tie & Rail replacement work according to the Sperry Report.
If they (WE) can make some money they will open,
if they can not or even break-even, welll...no trains along Peters Creek.

The pics were taken just past MP 2. on the Branch.
You can see the remains of the small yard and scale tracks from many years past.
This was part of a very large minerial store area for USS.
BTW, the pics were from JR's cell phone!
