The Carburetors music and mapping from google earth offers an historical trip down what was the nation's steepest, Class-1, mainline railroad grade. It ran 3-miles from Saluda, NC to Melrose then Tryon, NC.

Seeing this rail path leaves little to imagine about the train wrecks that plagued these rails in western N.C. from the 1880's until the grade was closed in December, 2001.
