Norfolk
Southern Railway Corporation has
agreed to donate track and track
material to the Fort Miles
restoration project. Included
in the donation is 85 relay ties,
120 track feet of rail, joint bars,
bolts, washers, nuts, tie plates,
spikes, and anchors. Special
thanks goes to David Taylor of
NSCORP for coordinating the
donation.
The track material will be used for
the planned 8-inch railway gun
exhibit. Fort Miles has
already secured the proper
depressed-center railway car for
mounting the weapon and will be
transporting it to the site shortly.
The weapon and carriage assembly was
transported from the Dahlgren Naval
Surface Warfare Facility to Fort
Miles on 26 May 2006.
The exhibit construction is slated
for this summer. |
