Beginning at Dundon, the line ran east along Buffalo Creek to a terminus 18 miles (29 km) away at Widen.

[citation needed] Some of the BC&G's equipment, as well as that of its sister railroad the Elk River Coal & Lumber Co. have been preserved, some in operating condition.

BC&G Mikado #17 had been initially preserved on the Livonia, Avon and Lakeville Railroad but was scrapped in 1970 following the locomotive's sale to a private owner who found it to be mechanically irreparable.

Currently the Buffalo Creek & Gauley Co-op has been in the process of opening up much of the old main line and have run some speeder excursions from Dundon.

The Clay County Economic Development Authority has established a pedal-train excursion on the line and is working toward a restoration of the rails to Widen.
