Saluda Grade
To Remain In Use
Norfolk Southern officials
are going to keep using the
Saluda Grade for the time
being, public relations officer
Bob Auman said Monday.
Last spring, the railroad
announced plans to study
alternatives to continued use of
the Saluda Grade, the steep
line between Tryon and Saluda.
They were going to study
alternative routes, citing the
high cost of maintaining the
Saluda Grade.
But that study has been put on
hold, Auman said. "The plan
for the foreseeable future is to
maintain the status quo," he
said.
The decision was made sev
eral months ago, well before
BMW announced its plans to
locate in Greer, Auman said.
He said he expects that BMW
will be a Norfolk Southern cus
tomer, but he doubts that rail
cars will carry auto parts and
finished automobiles up and
down the Saluda Grade.
"I anticipate the bulk of their
shipments of parts and cars will
be north-south movements over
the main line from Washington
to New Orleans," he said.
"BMW will likely insist on
rigid delivery times. In the
interest of safety and service,
Norfolk Southern will likely use
the main line."
