Salem (East) WABUN (West) Riverside
The former Virginian line crosses the double track former Norfolk & Western tracks at Wabun. The bridge itself is difficult to photograph without tresspassing, but the grade crossing just north (track west) of the bridge provides an opportunity to view eastbound trains working up a slight grade to gain enough elevation to cross over the N&W tracks of the Christiansburg district. To the east, the Wabun TSA is near the Poor Mountain Road grade crossing.
