Double Track to Parrott

[NW Mailing List]

Thanks for posting the info about double-tracking to Parrott. Could you possibly post a detail photo of the Parrott area? 
 
Another aspect of the track changes at Parrott that might interest others is how the line once ran from Radford along State Rt. 600 from Fairlawn to Parrott. I was told by my great-uncle that there was a huge trestle at the Parrott end of the old line. It would have rejoined the 1911 double track drawing after crossing the creek there at Parrott.
