West Route, Blossum Jct.
Title:  West Route, Blossum Jct.
Description:  SBD 8187 pauses at Blossum Jct. with a southbound freight. this is the former SAL mainline, now known as the West Route of CSX. At this time, the Everett Sub south of Ogeechee is still in service, but the end was very near. I was told all Trains were rerouted to the A Line in November of 1985. Today mostly Pig trains, Coal Trains, and Amtrak run here. Freights use the A Line v ia Southover Yard.

F Units
Title:  F Units
Description:  What a surprise!!! F Units on a Train coming by Central Jct. Savannah, Georgia We were completely surprised as there was no talk on the Scanner about them...suddenly there they were!!! It is Summer 1986 and they are still wearing SBD Paint, but CSX has become "official" and indeed you WILL see CSX on the side of Boxcars, Hopper Cars, Flat Cars, and Locomotives!!! By September, these will be wearing the new CSX Paint scheme. WE consider trying to chase this Train, but it was a Pig Train, and there are numerous Traffic Lights in the area, so this had to be our only shot.

"S" Line Callahan Sub Action
Title:  "S" Line Callahan Sub Action
Description:  Northbound freight led by SBD 5739 is about to cross the Diamond at Crawford, Florida. This portion of the former Gross Cutoff remains heavily used by CSX today.

Missing from this location is the unique SAL Return to Train Signal, which was very common at Seaboard Crossings with other lines.

"S" line Baldwin Sub Action
Title:  "S" line Baldwin Sub Action
Description:  Chessie 5328 leads a short southbound Local at Maxville, Florida in July, 1988. This was my first trip down into Florida and it was nice to see a part of the SAL still alive and well. Notice the Double Pole Lines on the right. One was for Communications, and the other was for the CTC. Today, those Poles are long gone and the Woods have grown right up beside the Signals. The line is busier than ever as it is CSXs primary freight route in Florida. This view looks north towards Baldwin. Chessie Power began showing up soon after CSX became "official" in 1986.

The former SAL route to Savannah is cut north of Thalmann and this section too will be abandoned in a little over a year from now. After CSX became "official" in 1986, it wasnt uncommon to see Chessie Power like this. Some Units were starting to display the new CSX Paint scheme by this time in Summer, 1988

Description:  Northbound Pigs rolling through Folkston, Georgia This is my first trip to Folkston and I am amazed at all the Trains running here. The recent abandonment of the Dupont Subdivision as well as portions of the Gulf Coast Sub have resulted in many Trains being rerouted through Folkston. Notice the track on the right that extended through town. This spot is directly where the Folkston Platform would be constructed in 2001.

Columbia Sub Action
Title:  Columbia Sub Action
Description:  Northbound CSX local led by FL 3138 leaves the Siding and is about to cross the Augusta Sub at Fairfax, SC . Notice the unusual Signal to the right. It was known as a "Return to Train" Signal. It was a product of the SAL but saw little use after the SCL Merger as they were phased out. Back in the days of the Seaboard, they came in useful in the event of a communications failure. Crews could come back to their Train without having to call up the Dispatcher to get permission. There were also manual controls on the nearby Signal House to remotely operate the Signal as well. A very neat device and just another thing that made the SAL so unique!!!

Former SAL at Bladen, Georgia
Title:  Former SAL at Bladen, Georgia
Description:  CSX local makes the turn at Bladen, Georgia off the former Everett Sub for a quick run to Waycross via the Brunswick Sub. The end is near for the former SAL south of Bladen to Kingsland. This would be the last Train I would see operating here. It is October 28, 1989. My next visit in march 1990 would find the tracks being torn up. CSX wasted no time in removing the line, but later regretted the decision. The Train still operates today out of Waycross via the Jesup/Nahunta Sub. The cut Track here was the former siding at Bladen.
