Hail |
Description: |
No, it's not snow. This short stretch of the N-Line (Yadkin Branch) and US Highway 52 near Gold Hill got pelted with hail during a severe thunderstorm that spawned some tornadic activity. The sun was back out, melting and evaporating the accumulated hail, when I shot this picture. |

New and existing signal 3337 |
Description: |
The traditional Southern Railway era signal at Salisbury will soon fall to a hooded type growing out of a box. Interesting that they'll go to a two-headed signal here, possibly for an "Advance Approach" indication? |
