By:Jay Epstein
Dates:4/25/2024 - 4/26/2024
Album Info:I had a family event in Charlotte on April 27th so I went down a couple days early to do some railfanning. Day 1 (April 25th) took me from Charlotte to Lynchburg on the former Southern main. On Day 2 (April 26th) I followed the former N&W west towards Roanoke and the Christiansburg District.
