SNIPPET: “Henderson County, N.C. — Henderson County deputies arrested two men accused of stealing railroad spikes from Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks.
The men were arrested after deputies were called to investigate suspicious activity on the tracks near West Blue Ridge Road in the Flatrock area of Henderson County.
During the investigation, deputies found the men had more than 500 spikes that had been taken from a stretch of active railroad tracks.
Henderson County Sheriff Tim Davis said, “This act of theft could have easily had catastrophic consequences had a train derailed in this area.””
