Historical Context
The Big Sandy Railway Company (of June, 1902) was incorporated June 12, 1902, under the general laws of Kentucky, and was a consolidation of the Big Sandy Railway Company of Virginia and the Big Sandy Railway Company (of April, 1902).
On June 1, 1906, the date of its demise, the company owned a single-track, standard-guage railroad between Whitehouse and Elkhorn City, Kentucky, a distance of 76.70 miles, and between Marrowbone and Hellier, Kentucky, a distance of 7.80 miles, all acquired by construction between 1902 and 1906. The work was done by independent contractors, supervised and financed by the carrier.
The carrier operated the property from date of completion to June 1, 1906, by virtue of ownership of the entire issue of capital stock, when it was consolidated with the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company of Kentucky (of 1904) and the Kinniconnick and Freestone Railroad Company to form the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company of Kentucky (of 1906). While the consolidation was effective as of June 1, 1906, the accounting records were continued to June 30, 1907.
