History

In 2003, Norfolk Southern bought 21.6 miles of former Peabody Coal Company/Yankeetown Dock Corporation (AMAX Coal) trackage and spurs from Lynnville, Indiana, to Yankeetown Indiana. In 2007, the Squaw Creek Southern acquired trackage rights from Norfolk Southern from 0.0 BY (Yankeetown) and 21.6 BY (Lynnville Mine), and since then, has done the loading at Alcoa's Liberty Mine north of Boonville, and unloading at Alcoa's Warrick Operations, as well as Yankeetown Docks.
