The golden spike for the Haysi Railroad was driven on February 1970 with the completion of the track work of a 5.6 mile branch line up Russell Prater creek. The Greenbriar turn served the Haysi Railroad coal operation called out of Dante yard. The former Clinchfield Railroad F7B #852 retired on 4/70 and the B-unit was then sold to the Haysi Railroad on 4/6/72. Equipped with radio controls & painted yellow with black end stripes it was ready for service.
