[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 814173, member: 10543"] From 02/21/1987 at Melrose, NC. The train had just descended what was at the time, the steepest mainline railroad grade in the U.S., known as the Saluda Grade. The average climb was 4-1/4% over three miles, with one stretch nearing 5%. This is serious stuff in railroading. Sadly, Norfolk Southern ended operations on the grade in 2001 and rerouted trains on an alternate line. [Nikon N2020, Kodachrome] [ATTACH type="full"]399371[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
