Seaboard Coast Line GP38-2 #531 leads Birmingham (AL) bound train SCL #330 past the south House Track switch          
The conductor is exiting the locomotive cab and is preparing to toss down waybills to the agent while being hooped up a switch list, waybills, messages, train orders and clearance card. As 330 is holding the main, this means his work will be light as heavy days require a run up the siding to access the very long Outside Track.

Charles Burgess General Neat shot! 12/26/2011 1:07:53 PM
Eugene Cain General Great shot and there is that Bridge again!!!! It just looks like you could push it over!! I suppose it was in better shape...I love those old bridges!!! We had one on the G&F line just out from North Augusta....that people used as a trash dump. (The track had been pulled up back in the 1960s, so it was the perfect dumping ground.) Eventually that spot was filled in along with all the trash. 12/27/2011 10:03:09 AM
Robert Farkas General I forgot about tossing down waybills. How quickly the past fades from memory! 12/27/2011 5:57:32 PM
