Bay Line Railroad  Contributor's Pick!       
BAYL Northbound Local Freight Train ( Abbeville Turn ) taking care of some switching duties in Dothan, Al. before heading for Abbeville, Al. This train runs as Z751 on CSXT'S Dothan Sub between Dothan & Grimes, Al. Unfortunately they would turn the power & the 2051 would lead in the Genesee & Wyoming scheme. I preferred the consist as it was with the ASAB 510 leading, but at least I got a shot of it leading before it departed Dothan, even though the light wasn't near as good as the Newville, Al. shot

Bernie Feltman General Davis -- After seeing this, I understand why you said they turned the power. The Bay Line--CSX switch is southward opening. So, a train bound for the branch at Grimes would "back out" of the Bay Line Yard and the bottom unit would then be the leading unit 4/8/2010 2:27:22 PM
William H. Davis Jr. General Ah, I see. I was actually where you talked about. I thought maybe they had a wye somewhere else. I saw where they had a place where they had the half a wye. There were some freight cars there. It was cool that the Abbeville turn I filmed had all company Bay Line woodchip hoppers, which was appropriate 4/8/2010 2:40:10 PM
