A Saluda Morning - a photo on Flickriver

A Saluda Morning

            Saluda North Carolina like many towns across the US, owes a decent part of its existence to the railroad which was completed in 1878.  The "Saluda Grade" as it's called, is a 3-mile stretch of track where the grades hit close to 5%, which makes it the steepest section of mainline railroad track in the US as the line gains or drops 1,016 feet in elevation.  Due in-part to the dangers of such a steep grade, the line was eventually mothballed by Norfolk Southern.  It's not "officially" abandoned yet, but all signs seem to point to that being the case.
