Melborn

[NW Mailing List]

Melborn is located 5.5 miles west of Radford on the Bristol line, and is 2.5 
miles east of Dublin. The only track chart I have is dated 1972 and the 
siding had been removed by that date. It is still single tracked today. I 
remember that siding and the mileposts you referenced is probably too long 
for its location. An employee timetable for 1954 states the siding was about 
6300 feet useable length for a passing siding. While the track chart lists 
Melborn, there was no station there and the "community" there [a collection 
of homes and trailer parks] is unincorporated.
