Chris Balducci	General	I lived in Shelby until I was five. There are still rails in the street crossing north of this one.	6/11/2010 12:41:50 PM

Joe Marascalco	General	The entire line around Shelby looked as if they pulled the track up last year! There are also still rails in the crossing where the house track crossed this street just to the right of the picture. North of town, there is still ballast and ties left perfectly in place. In this picture, there is still parts of the flashers for this crossing left, complete with the power line connecting to the old rr telephone pole	6/13/2010 12:24:24 AM

Chris Balducci	General	It's strange how that electrical stuff got left behind. I wish the city had the money to take that hump out of the Highway 32 crossing north of here.	6/30/2010 5:59:27 PM

Chris Balducci	General	I remember when boxcars were stored on the siding north of here and the ramp north of the depot on the west side where I once saw a tractor being delivered. Dad told me the Italian farmers used to receive a boxcar of California grapes in the fall at the depot so they could make wine.	6/30/2010 6:01:35 PM

Robert Tomb	General	I hit a car on the next crossing south while running engine and caboose on the local from Cleveland to Memphis. Nobody hurt or killed, just scared!	6/27/2014 1:37:38 PM

Joe Marascalco	General	Thanks for sharing that story Robert! How fast were yall going?	6/27/2014 3:32:22 PM
