A sight NO ONE wants ta see         
One of two safety tracks on Saluda Hill. Trains exceeding 8 mph. will receive this indication upon arrival at Melrose, NC. The track to the right is about 1100 ft. long and ends abruptly in the side of the mountain. That's No. 1 son by the signal. BTW, his Mother picked out the pants.
