[HD] Railfanning Norfolk Southern's Roanoke District - July 2019

I made my way back to the Shenandoah Valley to railfan the Norfolk Southern Roanoke District and the CSX North Mountain Subdivision. The Norfolk Southern Roanoke District is one of the few lines that still uses the old N&W CPL signals. For 3 consecutive days, I shot trains at Stuarts Draft, Elkton, Fishersville, and Staunton, Virginia! This was a very fun trip! B&O and C&O became Chessie System in 1972. CSX became a company in the 1980’s. There was talk in the mid 1980’s of abandoning the North Mountain Subdivision, though that never happened. CSX kept the line to run empty coal and grain trains west out to Clifton Forge. CSX leased the line to the Buckingham Branch in 2004. Also, N&W J Class steam locomotives did not run on the Roanoke District. However, the K Class did. Some K Class locomotives were rebuilt to resemble the J Class locomotives. K Class are 4-8-2 steam locomotives. In 1946, K Class steam locomotives operated passenger trains in the Shenandoah Valley until their end.
