Nothing has been filed with the STB... yet.

Hope this trails group is "with-it", can prove it is a responsible party and has financial integrity.

Uh, they were making a joke about Saluda after it becomes a bike trail...

You know, those old wheel generator driven headlights...

I had one of those on my Schwinn Stingray when I was a kid...50+ years ago. Damn, I'm old! Crying

I'm no expert, but terminal outgassing sounds like something to avoided..

Time for you to edit your title.!!!

Technically it will reopen. As a trail.

Isn't going to happen anytime soon - NS has yet to file anything on the Saluda abandonment this year....Something else going on in the background?

They have only agreed to sell. The non-profits are still raising the public and private funds needed for the undisclosed purchase amount. NS will abandon after the check clears.
