The sun is almost gone and what has been a clear and very cold - for Alabama, at least - day will turn into an even colder night. A Selma bound train is passing Union Station, which was restored ... (more)

There was still a tiny remnant of a yard and a little local business in Auburn in the early 1970s. In this scene, local #5 is finishing up and about to head back onto the main for the run home to... (more)

The Atlanta to West Point local is almost at the end of its run as it crosses the Chattahoochee River bridge and enters West Point, Georgia. What's left of Chattahoochee Valley's line to Standing... (more)

On a bright March morning, a pair of geeps bring a train from Selma into Montgomery. Though not nearly as busy as the Montgomery-Atlanta mainline, the Selma branch in 1975 still fielded a pair of... (more)

Train 5 - the southbound leg of WofA's daily-except-Sunday local between Montgomery and West Point - is up to track speed just outside Auburn. The latter day Georgia/West Point Route locomotives ... (more)

The 'big' train from Springdale was off its normal schedule today, which caused the turn that forwards cars off that train from Van Buren on to the main A&M yard in Ft Smith to also run late.

OK, it isn't Thurmond, WV, but Calera was a railroad town, with businesses (including a hotel and a drug store) that fronted on the railroad. That's Southern in the foreground, with L&N on the ot... (more)

Operator Steve Hicks gets ready to hand up orders to the crew of L&N 790, which is swinging across the plant at Amqui to head for Evansville.

A local crew works sidings and the D&R interchange before heading south. Both Helm units are classed GP38-2s, but the rear unit is a redo of a GP40, with the three fan shrouds still on its roof.

A bit unusual for the Van Buren sub, a KCS loco is DPU on a northbound as it passes the restored MP depot and small UP yard in downtown Russellville.

Returning from the McDuffie Coal Terminal in Mobile, a typical set of mid-1980s CSX coal power leads an empty train north through a hazy summer afternoon in Alabama.

U23B 3941 leads a trio of geeps - just one in NS paint - with a westbound freight bound for Birmingham on the former Central of Georgia.

Several years into the CSX era, a Chessie B30-7 teams with another B-boat and two geeps to lead a northbound out of the late afternoon sun and past the old West Point coaling tower and an ex-SCL M... (more)

With just 10 cars on the home-bound leg of the weekday turn, SW1 15 goes it alone, with SW1 16 tagging along in the distance. Most days D&R uses two units. It simplifies the swap at with UP, and... (more)
