Southern Pines Hill |
| Description: |
CSX 7600 crests Southern Pines Hill. You can see behind the cars on just how steep a grade it is. The SCL used to have a double track to the left of the 7600 which ran for a number of miles. There was a cross over about where the cars start to show in this picture. |
