Statesville, North Carolina: Despite concerns that the developer has not lived up to his end of the development agreement, the Statesville City Council voted Monday night to finalize the sale of the Historic Vance Hotel.
The Rainier Group will purchase the dilapidated landmark for $47,000, which represents a fraction of the $475,000 that the city paid for it in 2012. Led by Steven Barker, the developer plans to turn the Vance Hotel into a 60-room boutique hotel.
The Clinchfield's only southbound manifest train exits Vance Tunnel and passes the northbound signal guarding the SE Toe River interlocking. This train is consistently a daylight run on the Blue Ridge Sub below Erwin, making for a decently lit chase for the journey over the south end of the old Clinchfield.
Vance Kirkland, 1978

HSS!! RESIST!! IMPEACH!!
Vance Hall Kirkland (November 3, 1904 – May 24, 1981) was a painter and educator in Denver, Colorado. His paintings, from 1926 to 1981, range from realist and impressionist watercolors, to surrealist deadwood worlds, to abstract expressionist mixtures of oil paint and water to richly textured dot paintings in oil. Commenting on Kirkland’s works from 1954 to 1981, the director of the Museum of Modern Art, Vienna, Lóránd Hegyi, stated, “... in his later work, he developed a visionary art which mystically empathized with the entire universe, gave cosmic universality visual form in explosive images and used panel painting to convey the perpetually changing state of the universe.”[
CSX M653 exits the Vance Tunnel in Altapass, NC, on its descent of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The train will then terminate in Rocky Mount, NC. To get to Rocky Mount, the train must travel another 350 Miles across the state.
Two more views from the Ventura County Railway shop in Oxnard, CA in August 1993. All three Alco S6s were still on the property, but clearly VC7 "Vickie Vance" had seen better days. It appears to have been used as a parts source to keep the other two S6s operational. VC11 "Margie Vance" is seen in the background. I believe all three former VCY S6s are still stored on the property of what was the Fillmore & Western in Fillmore, CA.

South Branch Valley Railroad SBVR-4 follows Cumberland road with a loaded feed train that was picked up from CSX in Green Springs and is destined for Pilgrim Pride in Moorefield.
After holding for a northbound ethanol empty, geometry train W001 throttles up out of the siding at S.E. Toe River, framed up perfectly within the portals of the very short Vance Tunnel. It’ll be sad to see these Clinchfield-era signals fall, but that may be happening soon due to the ongoing rehabilitation of the Blue Ridge Sub. Altapass, NC, 9/26/2025.
Vance used to work on trains.
he started working on the engines after learning from his father.
while roaming around my hometown, as i normally do, i came upon vance sitting at the last possible bench you can on the tracks.
"im come out here all the time, and just watch the trains go by, yeah i miss it, but i wish i couldve taught someone like the way my father taught me"
going through a messy divorce, vance lost nearly all of his money, his job, and now lives off disability.
"if i could do it all over........"
As i was leaving he told me "im sure we'll meet again"
oddly enough i believe him.
If ever there was a contest for "Unmistakably 1980s Locomotive Paint Schemes" the livery applied to Ventura County Railway's Alco S6s should certainly be a contender. A sharp-looking VC9, nicknamed "Toni Vance", poses at the railroad's facility in Oxnard, CA, with VC11 "Margie Vance" visible in the background. Sheet metal added to the radiator screen to accommodate the light blue stripe on VC9 was a nice touch! All three Ventura County S6s wound up on the Fillmore & Western and may still be stored in Fillmore. A mostly untouched Santa Fe caboose rounds out the scene.

This was taken on Vance Creek Bridge in WA. I spent the first 15 minutes practically on all fours, terrified of getting vertigo and falling off the bridge. Over time, as I tried to set up the shot that I wanted, the fear faded and I spent the last 15 minutes running back and forth from the camera to check the composition of the photos.

She said " You know when you think you know someone? More than anyone in the world? You know you know them, because,you've seen them, like, for real. And then you reach out, and suddenly they are just... gone. You tought you belonged together. You tought they were yours but they are not."

More than 350 feet tall. It`s the tallest railroad bridge in North American. This is my Father in law looking out at the view. Here are a couple of links one is a different angle of the trestle, and one link to the history of the trestle.
The Vance Creek Bridge, built in 1929, was part of the Simpson Railroad which was one of the last logging railroad operations in the continental United States. The Vance Creek Bridge has been out of operation since the 1950's and spans over 400 feet long and 347 feet high making it one of the highest railway arch bridges ever built in the United States. The bridge is located deep in the forest on Washington State’s Olympic peninsula, about a two hour drive from Seattle. (Joshua Lewis / KOMO News)
Vance Creek Viaduct - a 350' tall abandoned train trestle, found in the forest of the Olympic Peninsula. It became a super popular destination for Instagramers over the last couple years. Which led to it's closing recently. The owners of the land it resides on have taken measures to cover the trail and have local authorities ticket and tow any trespassers.
