Boaz Today and Yesterday

[NW Mailing List]

Yours's is much better Jeff. Very nicely staged. Thx for sharing. I stopped
by with just my cell phone and was trying hard to remember in my mind the
angle of the 1958 photo. First noted this handrail in a terrific Spring 1975
Railfan Magazine article by Jim Shaughnessy on Blue Ridge. Well worth an
eBay purchase.      John Garner

Since it's been in the discussion lately.

 

Here's Boaz pusher siding today (see attachment) and just over 60 years ago
(see link below). The handrail on Bridge #96 at MP 254 is all that's left of
Boaz (besides a few cinders and clinkers). Both of these views are looking
west. The increase in track height today is considerable.

 

Time marches on,  John Garner, Newport VA
