Pulling Aberdeen Hill |
| Description: |
CSX work train pulls Aberdeen Hill, CSX S line MP 228.7. An empty ACW grainer sits off to the right of the CSX work train. The track to the far right here is part of ACW's wye. But previous, the orginal NS used this line to shove loaded coal hoppers down about 300 yards behind where this was taken. There was a 4 bay coal shoot where various sized coal was dumped down to each pit. Long gone now. |

Passing by. |
| Description: |
CSX 6119 and the 8023 pull loads of new crossties, heading North along the S line. CWR was recently laid on the S line, now time for new ties. Which is about time, I am still digging date nails out of some of the ties they've discarded. Jointed rail was rolled in the 60's. New ties lay along the ROW for about 8 miles North of this picture. |
