The Raleigh Southwestern & Winding Creek Subdivision is a railroad line owned by CSX Transportation in the U.S. state of West Virginia. It was formerly part of the CSX Huntington East Division.[1] It became part of the CSX Florence Division on June 20, 2016.[2]
The line runs from Raleigh, West Virginia, to Pemberton, West Virginia, for a total of 5.5 miles (8.9 km). At its east end the line branches off the Piney Creek Subdivision,[2] and at its west end the line becomes Norfolk Southern's Winding Gulf Branch of the Princeton–Deepwater District.[2][3]
The line was completed in 1912 and connected with the Winding Gulf Branch, then part of the Virginian Railway, in 1917.[4]
