Andre,
Yes, Chilhowie was among them, and it was taken out in the early sixties I believe. But anyway, here's the list, and it comes strait off the CTC Machine builders photos.

From east to west:
Radford Yard,
Melborn,
Wysor,
Wurno,
Pulaski,
Granite,
Clark,
Max Meadows,
Kent,
Wytheville,
Grubb,
Crockett,
Rural Retreat,
Groseclose,
Atkins,
Marion,
McMullin,
Seven Mile Ford,
Chilhowie,
Glade Spring,
Meadowview,
Abingdon,
Wyndale,
Bristol Yard

Here are some comprehensive lists I've compiled that can be viewed in wordpad, as well as a sketch of the Chilhowie siding and its arrangements. The lists are 1947 when installed, and 1996 just before their retirement.

Q: In steam and early diesel days, what were the CTC-controlled passing
sidings on the Bristol line. Came to question recently whether Chilhowie was
among them. Old heads and wise young 'uns pls. advise.
thanks,

Andre Jackson and/or Lisa Burrows
