This is the backside of the new signal to be installed for the East arrival/departure in Hamlet. From the wear on the new signal, it looks as if it is used and from another location, or just how CSX maintains their equipment. |

blue lights |
| Description: |
Those blue lights you to the far right are what happens when you drive around the lowered gates. Both trains were coming in pretty slow, so this driver was impatient and ran around the gates, not knowing the state patrol was not far behind him. The trooper stayed with this driver for some time, hopefully explaining the dangers of running around gates, plus how and where to pay for the ticket. |

THis is a leaser, Im figuring that A&R will use at their soon to open (Jan 2010) Clean Burn facility. Notice in the background, the elevation in the roadbed. I remember way back when (SCL days), the main line used to have just as much elevation, if not a bit more in this same area. CSX has taken much of that elevation out nowdays. |

New track |
| Description: |
The track in the foreground is the A&R main, to the left is heading towards Aberdeen; right of course goes on in to Fayetteville...where the loads will come from. New new track above ground (in the middle) and the secondary track in the background, lead into the Clean Burn Plant. As you can see, the middle track has no ballast yet and crews seen there are bolting and spiking it in. The background track is heavy with ballast, waiting for tamping and regulating. Clean is "to be" up and running January 2010 according to the news. But from all the cranes hoisted around the plant, they may have to put that off. |
