Middle Creek Subdivision

The Middle Creek Subdivision is a railroad line owned and operated by CSX Transportation in the U.S. state of Kentucky. It splits from the Big Sandy Subdivision at Prestonsburg and runs southwest to a dead end at David.[1] CSX filed to abandon all but the first mile (2 km) at Prestonsburg in 2004; it had not seen traffic since the early 1990s.[2][3] However, due to complications regarding possible rail banking and its effect on the Middle Creek National Battlefield, the line has not yet been abandoned as of 2006.[4]
