Joe,
Do you know why your milepost has two different numbers? Here is a clue.

Yes. this is a PRR mile post. One number, in this case the 8, was how many miles it was to Belvidere, NJ and the other number, 30, was how many miles to Trenton, NJ.

Jim, where is your milepost from?

Across the river from Natural Bridge Station on the Roanoke District of the Shenandoah Div. The mileposts were turned over and a single milepost was painted on that end. The end was painted black with the MP # painted in white. You can see the edge of the black that is now buried in the dirt.
