Current Operations at Wilcoe

[NW Mailing List]

Wilcoe Yard was reopened in 2014 after Auville Yard was closed. Wilcoe
Crews work Mid-Vol (U.S. 14) at Munson on the Tug Fork Branch, Black Wolfe
(U.S. No.8) at Elbert on the Sand Lick Branch, Arcelor-Mittal's Plant on
Dans Branch, Bluestone Coal's Operation in Eckman Yard and Southern Coal's
plant at Craft on the Jacobs Fork Branch. Wilcoe typically gets the wrong
end of the stick with Bluefield doing much of their work. Shifter crews
there use the the U22-U26 IDs while their pushers use the J50 & J51 IDs. It
still makes no sense to me why they shut Auville down and reopened Wilcoe.
I'v heard a few stories on why they did that but I don't know which one is
true.
