[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 818623, member: 10543"] Two photos from the foot of the Saluda Grade at Melrose, NC that illustrate the sad outcome of 35 years of decline in western North Carolina railroading. I shot the first on 12/22/1984 and the other at nearly the same spot on 08/14/2019. Saluda was the steepest mainline railroad grade in the U.S. until it was taken out of service in 2001. Things are so overgrown today that you'd hardly know there are rails amongst the tall grass and trees. The route is slated to become a hiking trail. [First image, Nikon N2020, Kodachrome. Second image, Nikon D5100] [ATTACH type="full"]403870[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]403871[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
