Abandoned coal mine spur with abandoned tipples and locomotive stranded miles from the Norfolk Southern mainline on a short piece of private track. Railroad track being removed with railway signal still lit and this locomotive can't go anywhere. A short piece of track is still in place with several railroad cars sitting on it near the main line and another piece is still in place with this poor locomotive stranded in the middle of nowhere. This abandoned railroad line is west of Matewan, West Virginia in the heart of what was a major coal mining area. I show the buildings that hundreds of people worked in. Track removal is still going on with the switch still in place and a small piece of track being used to stage cars for track removal. Sections of welded rail are still waiting removal next to the thick gravel roadbed. Google Maps still shows the track in place and both railroad signals along this spur are turned on red and yellow. The public crossing on WV 49 still has the crossing signals and crossing shanty. The coal company closed with numerous large buildings still in place and thousands of acres going back to nature. I came here to see this line and another coal line on the east side of Matewan. I found both of them recently removed. This part of West Virginia has abandoned railroad lines all over the place. Some of them are being turned into rail trails. Filmed on August 5, 2021.
