Old wooden SAL bridge near Townsend, GA. Photo by Suzy Krone.

Suzy shares some pictures of this former Seaboard Air Line route abandoned by CSX. Other pictures are from area trams that were used for logging.

A majority of this right-of-way is being considered for conversion to the Coastal Rail Trail.

Suzy adds: There are some cool old bridges and the track bed is easy to find and hike. The ties have rotted away and the rails are in place but warped; tree trunks have grown around some rails. There are some spikes left also, but they are almost rotted in half.

Its great to see these pictures of the Everett Sub. I wish you had some of before the rails were removed the way I remember as a child growing up. My grand father William Lee Blair worked for the seaboard in this area all his life and lived in the town of Everett. I remember watching the trains switchings cars in his back yard were the southern and seaboard crossed. Many times I realy wounder how he felt when all his life he worked on a rail line and it was just ripped up in front of him in his old age. He always told me he was working on the altimaha bridge the day pearl habor was bombed. Those are stories I will always remember.

I'll try and dig up a picture from the Georgia Archives. I've started researching the SAL and the GC&P again.
