Southern rail crossing switch removed at Spindale depot
In Spindale on June 26 the Southern Railway eliminated the switch at the Seaboard and Southern crossing near the depot. The Seaboard allowed a crossing long ago to avoid conflict, with later double reinforced rails replacing the swap. Southern trains now stop only at the depot. Local news notes Roy Nanney of Atlanta visiting family, Gray Williams attending the State B Y P U convention, Guy Ledford tabbed to attend Lake Junaluska assembly, and M E church funding a parsonage. A carnival lot above Ellis and Cobb’s store draws steady business for the season. Miss Bess Cowan hosted a lawn party, Presiding Elder Z Paris preached, and Spindale’s second baseball team to play a double header at Marion on the 4th.
