>> Hey, guys!  The 2120-2161 and 2163-2180 were ALL assigned to Shaffers 

>> Crossing and they ALL had the ATC.  (The 2162 was assigned to Bluefield, 

>> as were the 2181-2200).  So the 2177 would regularly see service to 

>> Hagerstown, Bristol, Bluefield, Crewe-Lamberts Point, and Winston-Salem. 

>> Along with all the rest of them.

>>

>> I'm not familiar with the Buchanan area, but if I remember correctly from 

>> my trips down Bluefield Mountain on the old highway, all of those 

>> overpasses were little deck girder bridges, no through ones like in that 

>> photograph. The bridges on the eastbound main where the loads ran had 

>> four girders; the westbound only had two.
