Daryl Lunsford commented on a post about a NS bridge collapse on Oct 23, 2024
I was a conductor with NS in the 90s, and my cousin still is one. He sent me this drone shot of Asheville yard a couple of weeks ago.
[This is flooding caused by Hurricane Helene.]

This is the yard tower that we see in the water in the above photo.

None of the topo maps with a scale of 1:24,000 loaded, so I had to use this 1:250,000 map. Southern had routes going to all four points of the compass. They share the route through town so I knew the yard would be along that shared segment.
