....A bit of info can be found on the subject of Saluda closing in June, 03 TRAINS magazine. Look on page 50.

Saluda is an awesome site...I can't imagine how they pulled loaded freight cars up that grade. Standing in the town and siting down the grade it just is difficult to imagine a loaded train coming up through there, even though they brought the loads up in short cuts.

Any magazine articles, books or explanations about how this route fit into the NS system and how traffic was rerouted after it was mothballed? Thanks, RF
