  There has been a change in the signals and the
  signal spacing on the Winston District recently and
  it's surprising that Sig  108.8 is still there.  This
  signal DID have the capability of displaying a
  "Stop" indication -- when Southern's Winston-
  Salem Division crossed the N&W (later NS) there.
  Now that NS has abandoned that part of the old
  A&Y, it's no longer necessary for crews to stop,
  wait until a conflicting move cleared on the 
  Southern, or arrange to flag across the diamond. 
  This had been an automatic interlocking and was
  NOT controlled by the Shenandoah Div. dispatcher.
   
  There WAS a cab-crunching rear-ender there one night
  in the early 70's.  A cab-light out of North Winston passed
  a "restricting" near Mile Post 110.2 and collided with a
  northbound stopped at the crossing.  You can't always
  travel at 15 MPH and be in compliance with restricted
  speed.

Thanks Harry. Yes the signal is still there, but I think it might be coming down soon,since they have put a new light at Pine Hall,but they have not turn them on yet. They have been up since the first of the year,and when I was down there a couple of weeks ago they were not on. I wish they would not tear them down,because I think it would be moved into the woods.  Also, do you know anything about a side track in Walkertown,It was north of the depot. Thanks Jeff
