About Us

The Sequatchie Valley Railroad was formed in 1986 to acquire a Seaboard System branch line 37 miles long, from Bridgeport, Alabama to Dunlap, Tennessee. The line was built by the original Sequatchie Valley Railroad, but leased by the Nashville, Chattanooga, and St. Louis (later Louisville & Nashville) for much of its life. It originally extended as far north as Pikeville, Tennessee, but that rail was removed in the 1990s. Traffic included coal and plastics. By the late 1990s, the line was curtailed back to Jasper, Tennessee. In 2019, Ironhorse Resources, Inc acquired what remained of the line and renamed it the Sequatchie Valley Switching Company, LLC (SQSC). The current SQSC is 12 miles long and interchanges with CSX Transportation at Bridgeport, Alabama. Current operations handle gypsum, drywall, plastics, and railcar storage.
