1/08 - Westbound CSX at Hobbs, WV between Shenandoah Jct. and Kearneysville. This location was formerly the site of double crossovers as it is the summit of "9-mile grade" coming east from Martinsburg,WV. Several years ago, the crossovers were moved about 1.5 miles east to the Shen. Jct. signal. This location was previously inaccessible without a 1/2 mile walk from nearest grade xing. In 2007, a new highway project resulted in a county road overpass being built to access a commercial orchard operation. Unfortunately, Hobbs is just a signal point now, but a new vista is now available.
