Fairlawn - Schooler Question (NW Mailing List)

[NW Mailing List]

There was a track chart (#10595 at the bottom) shared for the original posters showing the point where the old line met the new one at Parrott. Haven't seen one for the area "N&W east" of there posted on here.

If there was a trestle bypassing a dip and shorter radius curve in the present alignment of Rt. 600 there at Highland Road I have no knowledge of it.

Great-grandfather was Dry Branch section foreman, and his son (N&W employee for a short time) told me that cut-bank traces in the hillsides compass-east of Rt. 600 between "Midway" (formerly Albert's) store and Belspring were "the old road". That was before the new track was laid, and Rt. 600 (old road) moved to the old rail bed. Those cuts began in the immediate vicinity of "the store" on the N&W east end of that section.

I believe I did mention the "old-road" cuts in the previous discussion.

Wish I could contribute more. Good luck on the Highland Road trestle quest. I'd like to see it, too.

Respectfully;
Vince Albert

It seems to me that we have had this discussion not so very long ago, with maps showing everything that you speak of.

   Another thing it would be nice to determine is where the new alignment (to Cowan) and the old alignment (to Fairlawn) met at or near Belspring.

     Studying the satellite imagery, it appears the the old and new alignments could have met about anywhere along a distance of approximately 3700 feet between present Belspring and present Parrott.?

     Of course, the best way of referencing such things in our conversations is to give the GPS coordinates.? If you go to Google Maps, and use either the Map View to Satellite View, you can RIGHT-click anywhere on the image and the GPS coordinates will appear.? Then, if you LEFT-click on those numbers, they will be copied to your clipboard and can be pasted into an email.? Any teenager can show you how.? I have learned most of what (little) I know from teenagers...

   And I heard that Burgermeister Ervine of Greater Metropolitan Fairlawn & Environs has deputized Mr. Vincenzo Albertini, of the Grand Dutchy of Dry Branch, and tasked him with finding out everything worth knowing about the Highland Road Trestle, concluding by quoting the last note sent by General Custer asking for re-enforcements, **Be Quick!**
