Buena Vista, Virginia - a photo on Flickriver

            Buena Vista, Virginia and the surrounding mountains are illuminated in brilliant moonlight on a cool fall evening a little over two years ago as northbound manifest train 16T races through town headed for its next crew change at Shenandoah. Norfolk & Western signal hardware and brick storefronts form a timeless scene that has since been forever changed by a massive replacement signal which was recently erected over the one in this photo. The trains will continue to run here, but the character of this stretch of mainline and the reminders of the railroad that built it will continue to fade away, just as it has in many other places across North America's railroad scene.
