For a line thats about to be pulled up it looks like its in amazing shape, what was the reason for abandonment?

Railroads were deregulated in 1980, thus clearing the way for abandonment of questionable and unprofitable lines. However, this abandonment made no sense because there was quite a lot of through traffic running here. SCX decided they could reroute it all to the S line down the middle of Florida, and so this they did. Today, all this traffic can be seen at Folkston, Georgia on the Nahunta Sub. Great shot David!!!!
