Boaz siding

[NW Mailing List]

Mike,

Take US460 East out of Roanoke to King Street. 
Turn right then follow King Street about 3/4 mile 
to Berkley Road on the left. Follow Berkley Road 
across the tracks then take an immediate left 
onto a gravel road. This will lead into the 
soccer fields of Vinyard Park. Follow the road to 
a parking lot. The siding was around the far end of the parking area.

The area is known to locals as Berkley Bottoms.

Not much to see but occasionally NS will hold 
trains there waiting to come into town.
