A Bad Hair Day Rex _Sheridan

[NW Mailing List]

Gary,

I don't think that US 52 relocation was near REX. In fact US 52 moved 3/4 
mile north of the old routing and made the South Point crossing a local 
street crossing. The R 0f W changes were 3 miles west of the crossovers and 
in a location near the Ashland - Coal Grove bridge and known as the "the 
Narrows" where you can see the still standing rock "sculpture" that gives us 
the double S curve east of the bridge that has always brought questions as 
to why did they leave such a spot in the line of such heavy tonnage. When 
the NS set the line east of the rock closer to the hwy 10 years ago, because 
of slippage into the river being nonstop, it seemed to a civilian that was 
the time to take out the rock and the double curve.

I hadn't heard the word REX in 35 years. And I don't recall every seeing the 
third track. And I have a question as to what was its purpose ?

Oakie G. Ford.
