Without regard as to how Shenandoah Valley acquired the right of way
Hagerstown to Roanoke, I'm inclined to agree -- N&W had to buy the
property for the Lofton wye. First, it was an auxiliary track that
extended
beyond the limits of the main line and second, the wye was built to turn
pushers, which was well after construction of the line.


>From a Shenandoah Div. track chart updated to 04/01/1952, the wye

diverged from the northward main track at MP R-76.9 and the north
side of the wye connected at MP R-77.1.

As for Sprint's fibre optic cable in Ohio - it wasn't that their lawyers
couldn't
write a binding contract; it was that CSX abandoned the track and then
discovered they had a tenant.
