Blacksburg Grand Union Terminal Station and End-of-Track - Coordinates ???

[NW Mailing List]

Thanks for all the interesting and helpful information about the Huckleberry.  I have a question that I suspect some who have engaged in this discussion can answer.  Here it is:
I know the Blacksburg train departed the Cambria yard on the Kingston Branch and not long thereafter passed over the N&W main on a bridge.I would like to know the route from where it left the Kingston Branch to the bridge over the N&W main. Specficly, did it pull out the Kingston Branch a short way, then back through a switch with a bridge over Crab Creek and on to the track passing over the bridge over the main OR was there a switch close to where the Kingston Branch left the Cambria yard that connected track over Crab Creek to track over the bridge over the main without the necessity of pulling (or backing) up the Kingston Branch? The answer to this question will make clear whether these trains arrived in Blacksburg with the engine on the front if they departed Christiansburg (Cambria) with the engine on the front.

Thank you.

Bruce,
    Do you have the part where it connects at Christiansburg?

Here are two track charts that show the connection at Christiansburg.
