Picking Up |

"West Hill" stops on the mainline and cuts off to pick up a concrete car at Chapman Concrete. Who would have ever dreamed of seeing Conrail colors on this line? |

A Baseball Team Once.. |
Description: |
Not sure if Sigsbee was actually ever a station, or even a stop for the Carolina Special. But they did have a baseball team called "The Sigsbee Rebels" and I played on it. |

Memories |

Seeing this SD60 brings back memories of similar units enroute to tackle the Saluda Grade. You get one chance a day to shoot this train. |

If Only This Were SR |
Description: |
For me, this could only be better if it were a Southern Railway SD45 or SD40-2 running long hood forward. I sure miss that SR emblem! Too bad these guys aren't heading to Melrose to start "tripling the hill". |
