Montvale Turn

Jimmy, thanks for correcting my oversight.


>From my source, in December 1957 the Phoebe Turn left Roanoke at 5PM and 

went to Kinney and then Phoebe to follow the old main to Island. It was not 
listed in the operating timetables, but was listed in the "Freight Time 
Tables" of the Freight Traffic Department as the "Phoebe Turn" without a 
train number. It came back to Roanoke as Time Freight 87 from Island along 
the old main line to Forest.
