​The middle track is still in place and still used at Walton. There is a
switch onto the EB main at N-296.5 and a switch onto the WB main at about
N-297.5. It is used mainly for set-offs and pick-ups between trains heading
to and from the Bristol line and to and from Bluefield. This is also where
mileposts get screwy due to the line relocation from here to Belspring,
which replaced the original line out of Radford, up to VA 114, then down to
the river (now Va. 600). The mileposts go from N-297 to N-302.
