Description: |
No, it's not 1975 anymore. This is today's view as of 10/9/2020. The three tracks of the west yard (re-configured more than once since 1975) are now down to one. No more Beebee, no more Russell, no more coal, so no more trains. |

PC 9961 in Charlotte |
Description: |
Date approximate. Looks like at least three jobs tied up for the weekend. Coupled with the SW1500 in front, the first one appears to be the State St. job. The others are probably for the Hojack. |

PC 7604 - shot 7 of 10 |
Description: |
Charlotte Runner heading back to Goodman St. Crossing Hague St. The track heading off to the right connects to the Abandon and points east to Kent St. The elderly diamond crossing guard protects the Abandon as it heads west to the Falls Rd., directly behind the green Oldsmobile. Hard to tell in this photo whether the rails are still working or paved over. The hump is still there today, but the high power lines center and right are gone, as are the RR signal poles, also right. |

Note also the inside guard rail on the track heading to the swing bridge. Everything in this photo needs to be picked up and tamped, but that's not going to happen in the PC era. |
