Version 1.00
The most obscure rail line in the family. What is known this is ex CSXT trackage and the four rivers group was forcefully asked to take over after WATCO was giving up the line as unprofitable. With some operating changes the line has been turned around.
Coal trains are powered by CSXT provided power and are run through to the mine and back. Local power has been provided by 26xx class GMTX GP38-2. Most if not all were rebuilt and repainted at NRE shops in Paducah KY on the PAL. The A&O's 21xx series were PAL units temporarily remarked and loaned for startup and have been returned to the PAL.
