N&W 120Ton Wreck Crane and others...

Tue Apr 23 12:25:12 EDT 2019

Thanks Steve. You provide some interesting updates.

As for the 514908, as I am not totally familiar with the route of the belt
line, can you provide any other location info ... like near intersection of
road A and B. I have no plans to trespass on private property but if I can
view it or take some photos it would be appreciated.

Also I have never heard of the VMT "hump yard". Any more location info
other than east of Schaffer's. Is it even furthur east of the smaller
turntable near what looks like a car servicing area. I'm guessing one could
drive down Shenandoah Avenue and might be able to notice the VGN Crane.

Thanks very much.
