Title:  Mar 19, 2006 - NS 9526 sits on the W line to Saluda
Description:  Ahhhh, this was a trip down memory lane of the good ol' Saluda days, when coal trains from the west arrived and would sit here awaiting a crew to take it elsewhere. Instead this is a empty import coal that comes from Georgia going back to Charleston. It is shoved on the yard lead from Sigsbee to the signal at mp W-64.1. My how I wish Saluda would open again.....
