BRS, Blue Ridge Southern. I mistyped and their reporting mark is BLU. Freight only Watco-owned shortline that has two segments coming out of Asheville. One segment heads towards Saluda and the other segment heads towards Dillsboro. GSMR has not had any freight in 20 years I have heard but they do get the occasional shipment of ties and such for MOW and that would come in on NS to BLU to GSMR. Beyond GSMR to the end of the line in Murphy is inactive NC DOT owned rail that is still in the ground just in case an industry is in need.
