Subject: Shenandoah Junction questions


All:
Do we know both when the long-familiar Shenandoah Junction depot was
uilt and when it was dismantled? It had that familiar Shenandoah
alley "cookie-cutter" type look to it, as I remember from the photos
 have seen.
Bob:
N&W's 1919 annual report lists several passenger and freight stations
that were built or remodeled.  Shenandoah Jct. is mentioned, but it does't
define the work accomplished.  Maybe you know; maybe you don't, but
Shenadoah Jct. is NOT on the Roanoke-Hagerstown main line.  A lead veers
to the east north of MP H-215 and drops down to the B&O level.  The 
distance from MP H-215 to MP H-217 is only 6,716 feet.  There is no MP
H-216 on the main line, but there is one on the lead to the B&O, so
apparently the old main line went into Shenandoah Jct. and crossed the
B&O at grade at one time.                      Harry Bundy
