Henry

Late in the afternoon of November 14, 2009, a southbound coal train splits a pair of N&W color position light signals near Henry, Virginia. These intermediate signals, numbered RW49.1 and RW49.2, once governed rail traffic along the former N&W mainline between Roanoke and Winston-Salem, known as the "Punkin Vine" for it's abundance of curves and grades. Within a year of this photograph being taken, these vintage installations were removed from service as a result of the entire line receiving new signals.
