I know this line, formerly running all the way from Belpre to Zanesville, is still used to haul coal to an AEP power plant several miles upriver from Marietta, but how long has it been since it was used on northward to Zanesville?? When did the rail come up north of the power plant?

What type of traffic used it "back in the day", and later, toward the end of it's life?

Thanks.
