Deepwater Tidewater rail link may reshape coal trade

A Washington Post summary from Charleston West Virginia details the Deepwater Tidewater railway project linking the Great Lakes with the Virginia coast in a 600 to 1,060 mile line. Built with cash, costing about 36 million dollars, it aims to move coal from West Virginia to ocean terminals without public securities. The plan positions the line as a Gould ally, enhancing access to Pittsburgh coal regions and New York markets, while potentially reshaping national railroad maneuvers. The article notes key figures such as J. M. Schoonmaker and the Gould-Pennsylvanian interests, and discusses implications for New York coal demand and West Virginia coal districts.
