mile markers

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

"According to my 1979 Radford Division track charts, Christiansburg is  at MP N-290. MP N-297 is between Vicker and Walton (note above the new  line starts at the "289 mile-post"). The next mile post on the track  chart is N-302 just into the wye at Walton, with a note between N-297  and N-302 stating "4145' MP-301.85 = MP-297.63" -- indicating a short  several miles there. Mile posts continue from N-302 west to N-309 just  west of the end of the passing siding at Belspring. Based on the report  above about the new line rejoining the line "near the 309 mile-post,  near the mouth of Back Creek" it appears that the mile posts were set  going backwards from Belspring toward Walton."
  
  I have a photo copy of a July 1910 'Profile of the Norfolk & Western Ry' which has the same equation foot-noted at Walton
