NS Hilton turn with big power
Title:  NS Hilton turn with big power
Description:  NS local G91 returns from the CIRR yard at Hilton. The units were used to bring a large cut of coal into Albany destined for the Chattahoochee Bay RR at Hilton with an ultimate destination of Panama City FL. The units came on through on the Hilton turn along with about half the coal as the Chattahoochee Bay could only handle 50 cars at a time.

Old SAL/CG interchange track
Title:  Old SAL/CG interchange track
Description:  It appears the old SAL-SCL/CG-NS interchange track at Arlington is being cleared and readied for use. It has been several years since this track was used and now serves as an interchange between the GSWR and NS. I am not sure what would prompt it's return to service but not only was it being cleared, many new ties were being installed also.

The GSWR mainline crosses the NS mainline at the foot of the hill seen in the pic while the interchange track provides a connection between the two roads.
