Any Shenandoah Valley Line experts around?

[NW Mailing List]

Howdy,
The first image you have labeled Compton does not look right for a
southbound train. It looks like Overall, VA. US 340 is on the east side of
Compton, and was not that close to the bridge until a widening project
around 2010ish. Overall had a highway bridge that was that close until that
widening project, and the highway was on the west side of the railroad,
there is a small country road you could turn on that went under the south
end of the railroad bridge and was a shot much like this for Southbound
trains.

73,
Nathan Simmons
