More CPL's Coming Down

[NW Mailing List]

NS has donated a CPL signal to Roanoke's O. Winston Link Museum, and current plans are to mount the signal near the front of the former N&W station where the Museum is located.  Consideration is being given to making provision for public operation of the signal lights similar to the signal arrangement on Roanoke's Railwalk located generally across the tracks from the former station.

  With so many CPLs coming down has the society tried to have one or more donated? I know when they took down the NYC signals in Berea at least one was donated to the Conrail Historical Society. If we can save any, either for our society or for private ownership, we should be trying to do so.

  Roanoke Jct. is not the only location along the N&W that has endangered CPL's.  The ones located at Shenandoah Jct. just south of the over bridge crossing of the ex-B&O at Shenandoah Jct. appear to be next on the list.  MOW crews were dropping off new switches south of the current end of the passing siding at the Junction on Thursday.  Looks as if grading for the new track is complete, and crews should begin installation shortly.  I am planning to go up there the week of April 28 to shoot the CPL's. Hopefully before they are gone.  Is there anyone on this list who has a comprehensive listing of the remaining CPL's along the N&W?  Are the CPL's located near the Virginia Brick plant in Salem still up, or have they come down?
