Ashby CPL signal

[NW Mailing List]

Here is a photo of the southward bracket signal at old Ashby on the 
Shenandoah line taken a few weeks ago.  Yes, the signal at old Ashby was 
taken down Monday, and the last time I saw it, it was in a dumpster there. 
  The northward colorlight signal is being reused.  The old CPL northward 
home signal was retired last fall to make room for the new double track. 
It went in a dumpster too.

Now, lets look at the bright side, shall we?  This is four miles of NEW 
doubletrack on the Shenandoah line, and the old signals had to leave 
because they weren't needed at this location anymore.  There's a new 
crossover at Success, and Ashby was moved three miles south.  Despite the 
fact that the economy and such is down, the railroad is growing again.  I 
hear that there are plans for even more doubletrack projects and growth.

It's not all bad.
