SM Line

Track

Here, I document the A&Y track infrastructure based upon a 1912 Southern Railway track chart. This page will cover the SM line from the junction at Stokesdale to Madison. Separate pages will document the CF main line and CR (Ramseur) branch.

For explanations of the codes under Operating, Passenger and Freight columns, see Track Chart Codes
