Hayes Still Bumping

Trees are being cleared out near a walking trail just east of the former C&O yard location in town. I found an old Hayes Bumping post on the side on the embankment. A few weeks later it it was pulled out by heavy machinery, and it looks like it it will be preserved, I hope. The Western-Cullen-Hayes plant is just a few hundred yards away, and they still are making these. Rail traffic was cut of to this area years back, though. There is another one in the wild on the South side of Richmond, but cut off from the line. http://www.wch.com/pdf/catalog/bpfacts.pdf
