The Pocahontas Division is well known for its steep grades and heavy trains. Join Chase Freeman (Levisa Rail) as he takes us over the mountains and through the valleys of West Virginia for a tour of Norfolk Southern's Elkhorn Grade.

You'll see everything the Pokey has to offer including coal trains, time freights, intermodal trains, autoracks and even an export move! You'll also see run through power from Union Pacific and leased power from GMTX and PRLX.

Heritage units from both NS and UP make appearances as well. This video is proof that steep grades put even the newest motive power to the test. See some cabooses and the infamous N&W CPL signals when they were still active.

See Coal trains struggling through mountain grades, Helper action, Switching action and more!
