The Captina Loadout
About fifteen miles south of Wheeling on the Ohio side of the river a shuttle operation exists on today’s Norfolk Southern between loadouts six to eight miles up Captina Creek and a riverside barge loading facility at Powhatan Point.
Here on December 17th in 2005 we see NS SD40-2 #3331 easing a string of cars under the loading silo out of sight to the left before beginning the careful journey downgrade to the Ohio River.
