Raleigh, Ohio

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Oh, you mean raleigh NC! not Rolih in Ohio!
 
Anywhoze...the Appalachia and Piedmont Atlas sez:(pg29)
 
NS ex NSry comes across the north of Raleigh east to west then crosses the SAL at Edgeton, curves south to Glenwood Yard.  South and east of Glenwood Yard is a smaller Raleigh Yard (ex-SAL)CSX.  NCDOT Shop sticks out to the west of Raileigh Yard.  These two yards join tracks to the south at Southern junction which is a large wye with two legs in parallel on the north-west side (appears to be the bypass of the wye by old NS.  going west off this wye is joint SOU- SAL tracks.  Old NS curves true south on the west of the wye to Caraleigh and Raliegh South.  Going off the easst leg of the wye and running south-southeast is the SOU to South Raliegh.
 
Looking in on Raleigh from orbit, clock code,  Old NS comes in from 3 o'clock, wiggly, crosses SAL at 1 o'clock, turns south to glenwood Yard whcich lies southwest-to-northeast.  SAL runs from 1 o'clock-to-7 o'clock.  SAL-SOU goes westward at 9 o'clock direction.  Old NS goes south at 7 o'clock. SOU goes south at 5 o'clock.
 
Looks like you are sitting in Glenwood Yard.  the SAL yard sits due compas south of you along the SAL line that parallels the NS line that doglegs at the south end of your yard.
 
Take good photos for us , you hear!
 
Gary the Rolih,

A little off topic, but I know that I have several "Southern" buddies on the list.

 Here I am a true N&W guy trapped on the Southern side south of the system for at least a month and I need a little info on the line that we are up-grading, I am presently camped in the yard at Raliegh off Capital Blvd, and we are working smack in the downtown area of Raleigh NC. the track is in terrible shape, we are upgrading the line from the triple diamond to mp 250. Anyone know what the heritage of this line might be, and what the future holds?? This line runs along a maximumn security prison, and across I40/440.

 Right outside my campcar window sets NS#50 and #53, these units look like they are on their way to retirement in the near future.

 See ya later from the ole wooden axle railroad.
