Some points of reference for Mike's great photos. The view of the grade
crossing is looking east down the tracks. Directly behind him as he stands
is the Elliston station site (still used for storage by NS) and across the
tracks was part of the water softening plant that was there. The small shed
is on the grounds of the section foreman's house, which is just to the
right of the shed. Elliston Railfan lives there and posts quite a few
photos and videos in Facebook railroad groups, such as Old Dominion
Railfans and others.
