Richmond, VA-Greensboro, N.C. (A & B) coaxial cable route

Updated: 11:13PM EST 12/21/2004

Comments:

A & B K carrier cable that appears to have run parallel to and just west of Rt. 1. C cable was an L3 carrier line and followed a moderately different route. Many vintage (well suspected to be) wooden route markers have been decapitated and reused for a modern fiber optic route that runs behind but not into the now abandonded McKenney repeater station.
