I am taking my wife to Shepardstown WV Thursday for the night. From the balcony at the place we stay at, we can see the NS crossing the Potomac River into Maryland, and eventually Hagerstown. About how many NS trains use this line a day? Want to know if it is worth it or not to bring my equipment, or if the line is not used that much, than I won't waste my (or my wife's) time. I seem to recall the last time we stayed there, you could hear them going through town and over the bridge on what seemed like a pretty regular pattern. Thanks in advance for any info.Chris Bogley Syracuse New York http://photobucket.com/albums/v520/CBP/
Looking at my map, this is the NS mainline that comes up from the south and crosses the eastern tip of West Virginia, and then enters Maryland at the point I am referring to. A short distance up the line is Hagerstown Maryland, and then further up the line is Harrisburg Pa. It looks like all NS lines in the south feed into this line.Chris Bogley Syracuse New York http://photobucket.com/albums/v520/CBP/
Chris, I've made a few stops there in the past. I would say there's roughly 25-50 trains that go through there daily. Most of the traffic is intermodel though. I would atleast take a camera or something. I live in Logan, WV, which is in the southern part of the state and personally I would rather drive an hour from Logan and watch trains on the "Pokey" than drive up there, but that's my opinion on that. I hope this helps some. Chad Evans
