Saluda Grade

I was up in Saluda this past weekend. It is sad to see the rust on the rails... The dirt road that parallels the grade down the mountain is a fun drive. There is a one-lane tunnel that goes under the grade halfway down. The grade basically follows the N. Pacolet River up from Melrose, then follows a tributary up to Saluda. It is amazing to look down from Saluda and imagine a train coming up that steep grade. It would be wonderful to see that again. NS really has to "around their elbow" though to avoid this routing... <br /> <br />Jimmy S. <br />http://abandonedrailroads.homestead.com
