Signal Sunday - CSXT D-774 at Hancock,WV. on 2/23/01
Author: perklocal

CSXT 2259,6425 (Local D-774) has just comeback from the U.S.Silica Plant out on the Berkeley Springs Industrial and is in the process of weighing it's cars on the scale track at Hancock,WV. It is framed by the ex-B&O position light signal bridge that governs the rod connected interlocking plant controlled by "HO" tower.

I'm guessing this relic is long, long gone today... Nice shot...

The road slug lingers on, though.

Unfortunately the signal bridge and tower are history. A new aluminun bridge was erected just east of the old one. "HO" tower closed on 9/21/2007.
