Our Railroads
Winchester and Western Railroad Company (WV/VA/MD Division)
The history of the Winchester & Western (W&W) began in the Summer of 1916. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad and the Winchester Lumber Company decided that the forests of Hardy, Hampshire, and Frederick Counties of West Virginia could be harvested for their vital resources. In the years following, which included the First World War, rail traffic was on the rise leading to an increased need for more rail ties.
Thus, The Intermountain Construction Company began working on the Winchester & Western Railroad, with the first train taking track in January, 1918. The initial train carried lumber from Gore to Winchester, VA.
Today, the Virginia Division has 53 miles of track running through the Shenandoah Valley and moves approximately 12,500 carloads per year. The New Jersey Division has 47 miles of track and moves approximately 8,500 carloads per year.
