Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Greenbrier, Cheat and Elk Railroad was a logging railroad in West Virginia operating in the early 20th century. Its main line ran from Bergoo to Cheat Junction, where it connected with the Western Maryland Railway. The railroad began c. 1901 as the Greenbrier and Elk Railroad, which ran from Cass to Spruce, WV under the ownership of the West Virginia Spruce Lumber Company. The road served a pulp mill, built in Spruce in 1904. In 1909 the lumber company was acquired by the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company, which obtained a new charter for an expanded railroad.
