Big Eagle RR loads at crossing, near Winifrede Jct, West Virginia_
A holler is defined as a section of land between two or more hills; typically in rural areas. Part of Appalachian coal railroading is the track, mines, housing, waterways and roads are all crammed into these hollers. Here I wait for 29 loads of coal that the Big Eagle RR is delivering to the CSX interchange at Winifrede Jct. County Road 77 is jumping from one side of the track to the other here, something it does 3 times in the six miles between the Junction and mine as they both follow Fields Creek - a tributary of the Kanawha River. .
