Coal train on the old Virginian between "JK" and "Broadway"

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Did you notice the relay cases at "JK" ?  They've been elevated  on
a platform so that if the Roanoke River floods, the signal relays
don't get wiped out.  Perhaps Roanoke's city fathers could take  a
lesson.
 
"Broadway" -- everything on the Southern Rwy. had to have a name --
ends of double track, crossovers, etc.  There's a double  crossover
in downtown Gaffney, SC named not Gaffney, but Cherokee.  Then
there's the tunnel at Kimball for years known as Kimball Tunnel that
has since the merger been renamed Vivian Tunnel. I guess Southern
Railway nomenclature prevails.
