Columbus District Singletracking?

[NW Mailing List]

It also eliminates the weight of two trains on the bridge at the same time.

Since you would have the same number of trains, how would that reduce wear
and tear on the bridge? Reduce maintenance costs? Yes! Also, reduce taxable
value of the property.   Jim Nichols

Chillicothe-Scioto contains the crossing of the Scioto River, presumably
this was done to reduce wear and tear on the bridge? Omega-Lunbeck I never
realized this was ever doubled. All I can say is it is a remote, curvy
stretch down near the river, if that has anything to do with it. Maybe to
reduce maintenance costs? Good question, I hope someone will have more on
this. I dispatch this part of the railroad.
