Roanoke junction construction

[NW Mailing List]

To all. From the Yankee, thank you very much to Ron Davis and Eric Shelton 
for the constant update on the Roanoke construction. Without your 
contributions, I can only see what is available on the Roanoke Railcam.   My 
wife and I visited Roanoke in the fall of 2010 and spent several very 
pleasant days staying at the Hotel Roanoke, so I'm very interested in 
following the revisions.    On an other note my wife and I were in Roanoke 
when they ran the first West bound double stack train over the finished 
Pocahontas upgrading but when sitting on the hotel porch and watching this 
double stack go by, I didn't realize the significance of what we were 
watching go by except I remember saying to Joan, my wife-"I didn't know they 
could run double stacks west of here". Little did I know. I now wonder if 
Wick Moorman was in the cab.
Thanks again for the up-dates.
