[/quote] Saluda is on the line between Salisbury SC and Ashville NC.The line was originaly owned by the Southern Railway,now Norfolk Southern. I believe the steepest grade still in use is Raton pass on the old Santa Fe line of BNSF.Raton is 3.5%. The steepest secondary line was the Pennsylvania Railroad branch out of Madison Indiana.This was sold to a short line some time ago. It is 5.1%. [/quote] According to the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, the Madison, IN grade is 5.89%: http://www.ChildrensMuseum.org/themuseum/allaboard.htm From my research, I believe that grade is currently part of the Madison Railroad, a municipal railway owned by the City of Madison: http://www.MadisonRailroad.com/
