Historical Context
The Caney and West Liberty Railroad Company was incorporated in Kentucky in 1905.
The 3½-mile line was constructed between Cannel City to Caney via Spring Branch, where it climbed a large hill via switchback and descended into the White Oak Creek valley to serve the White Oak Cannel Coal Company mines at Piedmont.
After the C&WI went into bankruptcy, it was renamed the Caney, Piedmont & Morehead Railroad, and later became part of the Ohio & Kentucky Railway.
The railroad operated until December 1907.
