Ben,
We were able to save a total of nine signals, relay cabinets, and parts from
the Shenandoah Division. I might add that they were purchased, not liberated,
from Norfolk Southern in 1997.
The Nace, VA signal was the only one removed locally that was not
disassembled in the process by NS. It came down as one piece. This signal is currently
resting in my back yard while waiting for a new home. It is for sale. I would
have restored it for my driveway but I have already restored a signal that came
from somewhere in West Virginia. This one was also legally acquired from NS.
This signal was completely disassembled, sandblasted, repainted and rewired
before it was installed along my driveway about 10 years ago. I can honestly say
that it was a tremendous amount of work!
The parts are still here to reassemble several of the signals. Some have
already been sold.
All together we were able to salvage about 23 tons of signal equipment.
Thanks!
Richard D. Shell
Troutville, VA
