Tidewater Line Shapes Rivalry In West Virginia Coal Fields
The Tidewater Deepwater railway nearing completion will enter West Virginia coal regions and compete with Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake and Ohio. Analysts say initial coal traffic could reach 2.5 million tons annually, with Tidewater mainly serving coastbound markets to Norfolk. The impact on eastern soft coal producers remains limited given rising demand, and Tidewater may stay focused on coastal shipments rather than challenging established routes inland.
