Glade Spring Depot

Wed Jul 25 22:35:18 EDT 2018

Thanks Ken and Abram, for your thoughts and info. I eagerly await the coming Glade Spring Arrow encyclical!Abram, your post got largely camouflaged by stray HTML, but I was able to decipher it all, I think.When the Sou. 630 excursion passed by in 2014, the "new" depot was still standing, but painted in a non-regulation yellow scheme with dark racing stripes. I liked the sedate gray better.And Ken, I'd love to see a photo of that old sign!

Hey Andre

According to the N&W Magazine from August 1964, the 107 year old Glade Spring station was to be replaced completely by October of that year.

Only a portion of the original depot was still standing at the writing and as soon as the metal building was complete, it would be torn down.

Coming in a future issue of the Arrow is Abe Burnett?s article on ?Glade Spring Memories? which is his detailed record of some of his early days of employement on the N&W. I may include a reprint as a sidebar of the N&W Magazine story.

As a total aside to this my own Glade Spring story is I have the station sign off the building. Way back about 1978-79, I learned from my father that Conductor Paul Compton had the sign in his basement. Mr. Compton had asked the men tearing down the place to save him the sign, he wanted it to paint over and give to one of his aunts for a sign for her antique shop. The crew took the sign down, and the hanging brackets, and when Mr. Compton came in on 42, they loaded it up in the baggage car for him. He brought it home, painted over both sides with thick white paint, lettered ?Antiques? on one side, flipped it over and started lettering the ?Ant?, then something told him to stop and look at the other side. He had started lettering the back upside down. So, frustrated, he stopped, and never got back to it. 13-14 years later, I did some photographic work for him and traded for the sign. I loved signs, still do. Spent about three days carefully stripping off layers of paint, down to what 
 was left of the original sign board. Then I recreated the original lettering and hand lettered it back on one side, leaving the back side with was left of the original paint and lettering. I had it on display at the old VMT building for several years, then VMT tried to claim it as theirs when I took it back out. it now hangs in my garage.

Subject: Lynchburg Rail Day 2018 Free, $1.00 and White Elephant Table Railroad Related Items

Greetings,

I received positive feedback from our Blue Ridge Chapter, NRHS Members and Friends regarding the addition of "Everything's A Dollar" table at last year's LRD 2017. I just want to clarify the way that these three different tables will be set up. Ever since we have hosted Lynchburg Rail Day we have always had a free or give away table. That table is set up for BRC Members to give away railroad related items. Both model and prototype railroad items are acceptable. Items such as railroad historical society membership brochures, museum membership applications, upcoming model and railroadiana show fliers, etc. are welcomed. New last year was the "Everything's A Dollar" table. That is again available for BRC  members and their friends to donate items that still do have a value of at least one dollar to the BRC, NRHS to raise money for railroad preservation projects. We have pre-priced $1.00 flea market style stickers to apply to the dollar table items when you bring them to the check in tab
 le. These items will not be returned to the folks that donate them unless you are there to personally pick them up and take them back home at the end of the train show. We will donate the remaining items to other needy organizations if you don't pick them up. The BRC, NRHS does not have a place to store them. Now for the ever popular "White Elephant Table". Our "WET" get's more popular each year. This is where you can offer for sale your more valuable model and railroadiana items. The BRC, NRHS will offer your items for sale for a 20% commission.  Example: If we sell your model locomotive for $100.00 then you will get $80.00 and the BRC will keep $20.00. If we don't sell your items then you pay $ZERO! To read the complete "WET" Guidelines please log onto our website, www.blueridgenrhs.org<http://www.blueridgenrhs.org> and go to the Lynchburg Rail Day section. If you have any questions about how to price your items or on which table they should be put on please feel free to contact m
 e. We have several members that will help you price your "WET" items. We would like to hear from you ASAP.  Waiting until the day of the show really doesn't allow us time to research their values. The "Everything's A Dollar" table is still new to us also. We will need to work together to make this table a success! With these three tables available you should be able to clean out your excess railroad stuff! The extra money that these tables will generate will be a big help towards the many railroad preservation projects we have going on around our area. On August 10, 2018, the Friday afternoon before the show we have the hall open to accept items for all three of these tables from approximately 3:00 pm till 7:00 pm. Thanks for your cooperation!

See you at LRD 2018!
