Subject: Westbound Coal in Roanoke

[NW Mailing List]

Thanks to all who replied to my question regarding westbound coal through downtown Roanoke. I was not aware that southbound coal moved on the Hagerstown line. I learn many things from this group.

Comrade Smootkovsky :



 Occasionally, in the great Ordo Mundi, railroads have sent entire trains to the wrong destination, and then been obliged to fetch 'em back and start all-over-again.



And yup,  the Mighty Hawss Ray-Road has done that trick a time or two !



Not sayin' that is what you observed...  just putting forward the possibility.
