The Final Stand?

LTEX 1118 tugs a cut of empties over the Buckhannon River’s Left Fork. In the final hours of operation, the Beech Mountain Railroad ran the last 80 loads out of the Carter Roag mine with this unit. It’s unclear whether this is the end for the line or the coal mine, as comments from the miners indicate potential new ownership.

 

Some really great people, running a class act of an industry, left to uncertainty. You hate to see it.
