Shenandoah Junction questions

[NW Mailing List]

"N&W's 1919 annual report lists several passenger and freight stations that were built or remodeled. Shenandoah Jct. is mentioned, but it doesn't define the work accomplished. Maybe you know; maybe you don't, but Shenandoah Jct. is NOT on the Roanoke-Hagerstown main line. A lead veers to the east north of MP H-215 and drops down to the B&O level. The distance from MP H-215 to MP H-217 is only 6,716 feet. There is no MP H-216 on the main line, but there is one on the lead to the B&O, so apparently the old main line went into Shenandoah Jct. and crossed the B&O at grade at one time.

Harry,
    Check your mileposts again. H-217 to H-215 lie between Lithia and Buchanan, Va. The north end of the siding at Shenandaoh Jct. is milepost H-22.7 while the south end is H-24.6. meaning that the dual marked mileposts at that time should read going south as R-217 to R-215.
