Sample photo opportunities along the Hagerstown District

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Good morning, all:

On another list, David B. Davies <dbdavies at cox.net>
posted a link to photos taken this past week along the
Hagerstown District: 
http://members.cox.net/dbdavies/news/news.htm  Maybe
some of you all may consider these locations en route
to/from the July convention.

The "B-Line" is the former Harrisonburg Branch of the
Southern Railway between Riverton Junction and
Manassas.  The few photos from that line are a few
miles outside of Front Royal.  As many of you know,
the Hagerstown District forms part of a through
Norfolk Southern route via
Charlottesville-Manassas-Riverton-Hagerstown-Harrisburg.
 Consequently, the line north of Front Royal has
substantially more train movements than the remainder
of the Shenandoah Division.

Someone else asked about there being a second station
in Front Royal besides the former Southern station
downtown that is now a visitors center.  The N&W
station is similar in style to the one at Radford and
is outside of downtown, next to the former American
Viscose site.

Enjoy the virtual sight-seeing,
