A southbound Amtrak Pacific Surfliner has just crossed the Ventura River truss bridge on its approach to this stop. The Ojai line branched off to the right, past the end of the highway retaining wall (US 101 is parallel to the track, behind the trees).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/7vrlwpd0.jpgThis photo shows the trail built on the right-of-way about 1 mile north of Ventura Junction, next to CA Route 33. The pavement marker is "1.0 km" because the trail starts a few blocks north of Ventura Junction.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ci1qj80q.jpgThis is a remnant of the Ojai Branch where it crossed the on and off ramps to CA Route 33, which heads north from Ventura through Ojai. This location is less than 1/2 mile from Ventura Junction, and the Ventura River Trail starts where the chain-link fence blocks the track remnant.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/e09qs90u.jpgThe start of the Ojai Branch line, where it branches off the mainline in Ventura. Little evidence exists that a rail line was here; the curvature in the restraining wall would give a clue to astute observers.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/wl04wnww.jpgSeen here is S. Olive Street, looking south from W. Main Street. It is believed that the Ojai Branch once ran down the middle of this street, but any evidence of this has been obliterated.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/f2exirsh.jpgThe abandoned line continues north of W. Main Street after its street running in Olive Street.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/nlt2n1jb.jpgThe remaining rails of the Ojai line at the south side of CA Route 33 entrance/exit ramps.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/aj3ia8jq.jpgThis picture shows where the abandoned rails blend into the bike trail.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/mdw1ul94.jpgLooking south along the walking trail.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0km00evf.jpgLooking north along the walking trail.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/xh58okkc.jpgLooking east along the walking trail.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/4ja8w6sd.jpgThe northwest corner of the former yard, looking east.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/rx0g3520.jpgAnother view of the former yard, looking west.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/s01clw7t.jpgThe Ojai Branch crosses Stanley Avenue.

Here we see the switch on the main line, and the governing signal.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/erketu8t.jpgFWWR SPURS: The lone signal controlling access to FWWR's main.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/v6kthikm.jpgFWWR SPURS: Here, the tracks have just diverged off the main line and start their short journey into the overgrowth.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/rfo841mq.jpgFWWR SPURS: The tracks lead around a bend after branching off from the main line.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/xf5ypktj.jpgFWWR SPURS: The tracks cross a dirt road at grade.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/34b2y61k.jpgFWWR SPURS: After crossing the dirt road, the tracks proceed through the overgrowth to the industries they once served.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/sfmtjrjv.jpgFWWR SPURS: Now we look at the second spur, which branches off just east of Beach Street, which you can see in the background. The tracks make a slight bend to the left after crossing the street, and it is this angle at which the signal is aligned.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/hhrcti4c.jpgFWWR SPURS: I wonder when the last time this signal glowed was?https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1fkbr7gj.jpgFWWR SPURS: The signal that protects a spur that is no more. It's curious to see it situated on the property of a new development (one that doesn't show up in the satellite photograph).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/37rmu2n5.jpgFWWR SPURS: The northern spur extends off into nothing. A couple of years ago, I witnessed this spur being used as storage for grain cars. I doubt it will see any more rail traffic.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/mj2fv1ch.jpgFWWR SPURS: A derail to protect the main from being fouled is left open. I doubt it will ever come to use.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/088sgbs2.jpgLONG AVENUE CROSSINGS: The connecting track begins with its connection to the ex-Cotton Belt, now Fort Worth & Western. The track is usable for a short length, as the presence of this bulkhead flat demonstrates. The track ends just this side of the car (the bumping post is visible behind the weeds).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/jdm8ppin.jpgLONG AVENUE CROSSINGS: After crossing Sylvania Avenue, the tracks reappear on the east side. They run through some overgrowth and begin the turn southward to the ex-Texas & Pacific, now Union Pacific.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/dlynsdmy.jpgLONG AVENUE CROSSINGS: A closeup of the tracks covered by vegetation. The fence on the right side of the picture prevented me from following it further.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/eq927eou.jpgLONG AVENUE CROSSINGS: Continuing on private property, the tracks make their southward journey to the connection with UP on the other side of Long Avenue.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/yhd3vhif.jpgLONG AVENUE CROSSINGS: The end of the extant track is barely visible; you can see a Union Pacific freight in the background, just outside of Fort Worth & Western's Hodge Yard. We will catch up to the right-of-way at Long Avenue.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/w9wt8ijc.jpgLONG AVENUE CROSSINGS: The first of many pictures showing the two parallel tracks that crossed Long Avenue on either side of the main connecting track (whose crossing is not evident).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/wg9stw0q.jpgLONG AVENUE CROSSINGS: These tracks do not show up on the topographical map, while the main connecting track does. However, while these tracks are clearly visible, the main connecting track is not where it had crossed Long Avenue.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/jswfl3pf.jpgLONG AVENUE CROSSINGS: The right-of-way for these side tracks are not evident in the fields on either side of Long Avenue, but the main connecting track's ROW is clearly visible.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0f0a9tvf.jpgLONG AVENUE CROSSINGS: The eastern track crosses Long Avenue.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/aj9r5509.jpgLONG AVENUE CROSSINGS: The right-of-way provides enough clearance for a car to make a U-turn between the main lanes of traffic.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/dnvy0gmm.jpgLONG AVENUE CROSSINGS: Besides for the tracks in Long Avenue, it is hard to determine that rails once traveled across the fields.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/le17ih8j.jpghttps://photo.abandonedrails.com/muvsk2lm.jpghttps://photo.abandonedrails.com/o6lom59n.jpghttps://photo.abandonedrails.com/sddyw174.jpghttps://photo.abandonedrails.com/nwa0skdb.jpgMEACHAM INDUSTRIAL SPUR: The only area where the abandoned tracks are evident are at their former grade crossing with Mark IV parkway, just south of Interstate 820. The crossing affords us this view of the tracks to the west.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ys8d7vsa.jpgMEACHAM INDUSTRIAL SPUR: The tracks cross over a small creek on a wooden bridge.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/abw3udyg.jpgMEACHAM INDUSTRIAL SPUR: Another shot of the bridge, which looks to still be in pretty good shape.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/isoa2s1d.jpgMEACHAM INDUSTRIAL SPUR: Beyond the bridge, the tracks take on a more unused appearance.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/uwoe97cs.jpgMEACHAM INDUSTRIAL SPUR: The tracks continue westward through the foliage before turning slightly to the right.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/bd5sjazq.jpgMEACHAM INDUSTRIAL SPUR: Beyond the turn, the abandoned tracks continue westward until they meet up with BNSF's Fort Worth Subdivision, which was formerly the Fort Worth & Denver.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/hsnvkvlc.jpgMEACHAM INDUSTRIAL SPUR: We now backtrack a bit and head for the grade crossing with Mark IV Parkway. This view is looking east across the road.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/7s9d8asq.jpgMEACHAM INDUSTRIAL SPUR: Immediately across the street, the former right-of-way is all but hard-to-see.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/bdkdscvz.jpgMEACHAM INDUSTRIAL SPUR: An addition to a nearby building is now resting on top of the abandoned right-of-way. Most of the rest of the corridor is still visible in the satellite photographs, but cannot be easily determined today due to the growth of industries in the area.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/22n3ci1h.jpg7TH STREET SPUR: The 7th Street Spur heads southwestwards into downtown Fort Worth.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ctst9a04.jpg7TH STREET SPUR: We start by looking eastward toward where the tracks once began. The CRI&P yard would have been beyond the bridge (ex-Santa Fe and carries BNSF traffic today) and just north of the building behind it.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/258ktvcq.jpg7TH STREET SPUR: The tracks from the former CRI&P yard to this point are obliterated. We'll pick up the tracks here where they become visible just east of Jones Street.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/wdrqk441.jpg7TH STREET SPUR: The tracks head west down 7th Street. The tracks themselves are in their own median, with 7th Street proper running to their north. A small curb separates the two.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/08b15h8d.jpg7TH STREET SPUR: The tracks cross their first of two streets: Jones Street. The strips of concrete surrounding the rails are ill-maintained. This view is looking west.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/kh3n4823.jpg7TH STREET SPUR: Another view of the Jones Street crossing, looking southwards down Jones.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/livjplt5.jpg7TH STREET SPUR: We look back toward the east and see the Jones Street crossing in the background. The building south of the tracks behind Jones Street was once Nash Hardware company, which was served by the tracks.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/pqiouu9g.jpg7TH STREET SPUR: The tracks cross Calhoun Street.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/fdt3vga7.jpg7TH STREET SPUR: After crossing Calhoun Street, the tracks come to an abrupt end. The building on the left was once "Binyon O'Keefe Fire Proof Storage", also served by the CRI&P via the 7th Street Spur.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8cloyn09.jpg7TH STREET SPUR: An eastward view of the 7th Street Spur depicting its short length (about 600 feet) of existing track.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8m2ed6up.jpg7TH STREET SPUR: The 7th Street Spur comes to an end.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/oytkobrn.jpgFEDERAL RECORDS CENTER: Looking from nearby Felix Street, the abandoned yard is easily seen.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/48vo82tt.jpgFEDERAL RECORDS CENTER: A spur runs alongside the warehouse it once served.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/22g0gd0h.jpgFEDERAL RECORDS CENTER: These two spurs are beginning to give way to the landscape.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/03xpoik1.jpgFEDERAL RECORDS CENTER: Scenes like this are common at the Fort Worth Federal Center.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/occhhm8v.jpgFEDERAL RECORDS CENTER: Some warehouses are still in use, as seen here, but do not require any rail access.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ktu6v1vm.jpgFEDERAL RECORDS CENTER: The "feeder" tracks approach the warehouse in the previous picture.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/4qmh5uub.jpgFEDERAL RECORDS CENTER: Some tracks are still obvious.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ycjkc1yk.jpghttps://photo.abandonedrails.com/nu0upbbf.jpgFEDERAL RECORDS CENTER: The tracks appear to stop abruptly at James Avenue.

Today, this track is owned by Dallas and Fort Worth, and hosts the cities' Trinity Railway Express commuter train. A signal with restrictive aspect is seen along the right-of-way just to the left of the trees behind the tracks.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/yqk3o5eu.jpgDALLAS MARKET HALL: Once branching from the main, the tracks continue through both natural and urban growth. Downtown Dallas can be seen faintly in the background.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/w0spw8hl.jpgDALLAS MARKET HALL: The tracks have already been overcome by the trees, peculiarly growing between the rails.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/jxceq2b6.jpgDALLAS MARKET HALL: It was curious to find the trees growing between the rails like this. The trees were planted parallel to a small access road. No attempt was made to remove the rails before planting the trees.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0ehw8dsq.jpghttps://photo.abandonedrails.com/xyy3ficf.jpgDALLAS MARKET HALL: Nature doesn't seemed daunted by the iron rail.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/hrqjv2d4.jpgDALLAS MARKET HALL: The tree trunk grows on top of the railhead.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/5dqdw5du.jpgDALLAS MARKET HALL: From this view, we see both trees and parking lot. The tracks continue on, despite an entire parking garage built around them.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/db73ufpa.jpgDALLAS MARKET HALL: After passing through the trees, the first section of pavement for a parking lot is encountered. The rails are embedded in concrete for the rest of their journey.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/en0pdv9t.jpgDALLAS MARKET HALL: The entrance to the parking garage. I doubt a train would ever meet the 8'5" height restriction imposed by the garage's 2nd level.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/7999fkr9.jpgDALLAS MARKET HALL: Inside the garage, the tracks continue on unabated, despite the pillars, concrete stops, and speed bumps.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1a167vrr.jpgDALLAS MARKET HALL: The tracks curve to the south as they travel through the garage.

The area behind it has been renovated, at which point they decided necessary to remove the rails completely.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/g695j2ig.jpgDALLAS MARKET HALL: Looking back from the end of the rails to whence they came.

Beyond this point, the ROW is hard to find until just outside of Freeville.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/l95qc2b3.jpgThe east side of another bridge that crosses Fall Creek. The other side, the upstream side, is cluttered with logs as well.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8xlg8g2e.jpgHeading south of McLean, the right of way has become someone's driveway/access road where it used to cross a major highway. Looking north towards McLean.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/gtj6e0my.jpgA third bridge across Fall Creek is just north of Freeville. It is in the middle of a farm field and the right-of-way on both sides has been graded down. The book "Rails North" has a picture of an RS-3 crossing this structure, taken by Paul J. Templeton, headed south.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/qiwlrh4u.jpgNot far off is another right-of-way entering Freeville from the north. Looking north, beyond yet another bridge.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/07w9qevn.jpgThis is the general area where an actual diamond crossing where the Auburn Branch crossed the The Cortland Branch (https://www.abandonedrails.com/cortland-branch). In the passenger era, there were 4 diamonds here, as a result of two tracks crossing each other. Looking north towards Auburn. The Cortland Branch would have crossed left to right.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/3lh0lajn.jpgJust to right of the previous picture, a pole lacking all but one of its insulators is the only railroad artifact left at the junction itself. A unique five-faced freight station, subject of a February 1963 issue of "Model Railroader", once occupied the land to the left of the pole. A connection between the lines to Sayre and Cortland was to the right of the pole.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/i8aqgwbk.jpgLooking south along the right-of-way towards Dryden and Sayre.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/l50t4oaq.jpgA concrete base of a former railroad water tower exists adjacent to Railroad Street.

This one mile section will apparently remain for the time being, although there is no business and no workable spurs. The line used to continue into downtown Houston, but was abandoned years ago. This section used to be continuous with the section being abandoned on the west side of the UP main, but has been split for several years at the UP main.

The Pacific Electric branch to Fullerton crossed over the Union Pacific Anaheim Branch at this location. The UP line (barely visible to the left of the tree trunk) is little used and has been cut back to Fullerton in recent years.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/l13tqv5b.jpgThis view shows the "end of track" of the surviving remnant of the branch, facing south. This is near Imperial Highway (Ca. Route 90) in La Habra. A lumber yard on the north side of the highway receives several freight cars at a time. It has a trailing-point switch, and the trains need this segment (at right) to pull forward before backing into the lumber yard spur.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/xv53e2qe.jpgHere's a picture of the former Pacific Electric station in Fullerton. It closed in the early 1960s when rail service stopped; it is currently used as a restaurant.https://www.abandonedrails.com/venta-spurmonthly2019-03-09https://photo.abandonedrails.com/o91rj0hj.jpgThis is the former right of way of the Venta Spur, facing northeast at the Sycamore Ave pedestrian crossing in Tustin.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/dtl8y5by.jpgThis path is built on the right of way of the Venta Spur at Kathryn, at the end of the line. Behind the camera (across Jeffrey Street) the Irvine Valencia Growers packinghouse is still active and served by truck.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/9r0guav3.jpgA marker discusses the history of the Venta Spur, and the Venta Spur Trail which runs atop the former right-of-way today.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/dgwd9j7w.jpgThis was taken on the Jeffrey Open Space Trail, on which the site of the former Kathryn Packing House resides. There, a small plaque and wooden posts stand to commemorate the original packing house, from which the upright wooden posts were salvaged before it was torn down.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/avl16kr9.jpgA plaque at the location of the original packing house in Kathryn, CA. Satellite imagery reveals the concrete wall that was the original foundation of the packing house.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/vjob22iy.jpgA street sign shows where the former Venta Spur crossed Eastwood Road near Tustin, CA. The right-of-way in this area now forms the Venta Spur Trail.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/56is3y8d.jpgThe Venta Spur heads south from its crossing with Walnut Avenue, in Tustin.

Built in the 1880s, it was in use until 1940 when it caught fire and burned beyond repair. Today, all that remains are a few hills where the right-of-way would meet the trestle.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/h52p28m9.jpgLooking east towards Delaware. The right-of-way is semi-evident even after being abandoned since the 1930s.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/oxxi3nrg.jpgThis is the former right-of-way, now overrun by swamp lands.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ax8qd0g1.jpgThis location hides what was once one of the busy railroad junctions on the east coast, a connecting point for the N&P to Wilmington, DE. This location gave the W&W its name "Landenburg Branch".https://www.abandonedrails.com/boswell-branchmonthly2016-09-25https://www.abandonedrails.com/sutton-branchmonthly2016-09-25https://photo.abandonedrails.com/gnux13nb.pngThe Sutton Branch was built by the West Virginia & Pittsburgh Railroad in 1898. The following year, it was purchased by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad which then abandoned the line in 1930. A topographical map from 1907 shows the short branch line (highlighted for visibility). It split from the B&O Virginia and Pittsburg Branch at Flatwoods (at the top right) and headed south to Sutton (bottom left).https://www.abandonedrails.com/crum-creek-branchmonthly2016-09-25https://photo.abandonedrails.com/weuwvoka.jpgRemnants of a small railroad bridge of the Crum Creek Branch.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/p4ec9gjk.jpgThe former right-of-way can be seen approaching MacDade Boulevard.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/y0a3mjr9.jpgA residential driveway now shares the former right-of-way where the line crossed Bullens Lane.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/vf4908lr.jpgThe Crum Creek Branch crosses under the Northeast Corridor (former PRR mainline).

This piece of the Sag Harbor remained and was still in use as a D.E.F. up until recently. The east switch is still in place.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ynh6c5o9.jpgThe west switch remains.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/tcurhqa5.jpglooking west at the D.E.F. (old Sag Harbor siding) with the station in the distance. BH (Bridgehampton) block limit station can be seen. Yes the LIRR still uses manual block!https://photo.abandonedrails.com/a5qbj7c6.jpgSame spot as the previous pic looking east. Tie bumpers installed to denote the end of active track on the eastern portion of the siding. We used to serve a propane company off of the top switch of the siding. The one closer has been gone for some time. The siding cuts back into the Montauk Branch in the distance.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/rra0ep77.jpgA mile or so further north, starting east of Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike, the old ROW is a trail. Only a few hints that there was ever any tracks here, such as the concrete milepost to the right.https://www.abandonedrails.com/quanah-acme-and-pacific-railwaymonthly2016-09-16https://photo.abandonedrails.com/275incit.jpgThe former Quanah, Acme and Pacific Railway bridge over Groesbeck Creek near Acme now carries BNSF traffic along a surviving stretch of track that parallels BNSF's ex-Fort Worth and Denver line for several miles. The QA&P, owned by the Frisco, fought bitterly for years with ATSF over their connection at Floydada while they both fought the FW&D's expansion plans in the south plains of Texas. Ironically, all of the railroads involved in the QA&P story ended up as part of BNSF.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8dm2x9jw.jpgThe QA&P depot and office building in Quanah was constructed in a mission revival architecture in 1909. It was abandoned in 1978, but now serves as a museum documenting the rail history of the Quanah area.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ytekykwk.jpgNamed for a grandson of Samuel Lazarus, the town of Lazare, ten miles from Acme, was the first new town established as the QA&P built west, eventually boasting a newspaper, telephone exchange, and numerous businesses. Today it's a ghost town with virtually nothing left standing. Native grasses now mark the path of the former QA&P right-of-way.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ekwrhew5.jpgThe QA&P's route through the Pease River breaks is accessible by Farm Road 104, which parallels the right-of-way from Lazare to Paducah. Highway construction like this contributed to the QA&P's demise by reducing local dependence on the railroad for moving agricultural products, mercantile goods and passengers. This culvert, installed during a line upgrade in 1926, marks the former QA&P right-of-way near the highway.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/qk6cxamo.jpgThe concrete supports of the QA&P bridge over the Pease River are still visible from FM 104.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1cng5dmt.jpgJust beyond the south end of the Pease River bridge, the right-of-way crosses to the west side of FM 104, where an abandoned electrical cabinet survived the scrap heap to serve as a marker for the QA&P's path. Twenty miles to the southwest lies Paducah.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/izoqpykg.jpgThe QA&P entered Paducah on December 9, 1909. Three weeks later, the Paducah depot was opened for business on New Year's Day. The building survives today as the home of the local museum, with various railroad accoutrements decorating the yard.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/zkubfqbs.jpgThe QA&P depot in Roaring Springs still stands, converted to civic use when abandoned by the railroad.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/6gbc3xyo.jpgThe rough terrain west of Paducah required numerous cuts and fills, such as where the grade crosses US 70 near the Motley County line. A safety fence prevents vehicles from driving on the abandoned right-of-way.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/gpimvge1.jpgAtop the escarpment, the right-of-way passed grain silos in the town of Dougherty on the way to Floydada.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/o28hg5ei.jpgGrass now follows the curved pattern of the wye in Floydada; some of the QA&P's salvaged rail was donated to the Age of Steam Railroad Museum for storage tracks.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/yobdfa9a.jpgThe ex-QA&P bridge over Highway 6 north of Quanah still shows the 1930 construction date. It's now used by BNSF.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0lan2ipb.jpgTwo BNSF trains meet between Acme and Quanah. The north line (left in the photo) was the line built by the QA&P in 1930.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/zyj0oxaj.jpgAn automobile distribution facility was constructed in 1959 in Floydada with storage for hundreds of cars. The swale of the rail line into the facility is visible in the photo below. The compound remains fenced, but is now a junkyard.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/3mvlr80c.jpgThis is the former overpass where US Route 6 went under the tracks, as seen in a previous photo. A new overpass was built in 2004-2005 that goes over the tracks. The right-of-way has been filled in, either by the railroad or the highway department, but the engraving is still on the old bridge. Access is gained from the north side of the new overpass, driving down an old paved road and then hiking about 100 yards in overgrowth to get to it.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/otf3oawr.jpgThis is the former overpass where US Route 6 went under the tracks, as seen in a previous photo.

Located at the Huntsville City Schools annex building next to Huntsville High School. The rest of the spur is actively used for storage.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/u41smwcb.jpgAn abandoned spur along the HMCR line that crossed L&N Drive just north of Credit Union Way. It used to go to a lumber store that was abandoned long ago. The crossing on L&N Drive had "Tracks Out of Service" signs on either side of it. The land the old lumber store stood on was sold in 2009 or later. The old lumber store was torn down, the old spur was torn up, and the railroad crossing was paved over. View is facing towards the HMCR line from the ROW of the spur.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/2hltsl3r.jpgThis is the beginning of a partially abandoned Norfolk Southern spur. It appears to have served a factory just south of where the spur ends today. This picture was taken where the spur used to cross Cochran Road, looking north from the crossing. Some cars that are being stored on the remaining part of the spur can be seen in the background.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1kpaia2i.jpgThis spur was partially abandoned sometime before 2002. It is believed to have once gone to a factory. In 2007, more of the spur was removed. Then, sometime between 2007 and 2010, the remaining part of it was mostly removed. This shows the location where the spur crossed Short Pike Road.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/tq2wpeub.jpgLooking east from Laracy Drive.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/btv46pjw.jpgThis part of the L&N line that ran through Huntsville used to connect Hobbs Island and Chase, AL (see the abandoned Huntsville Branch (https://www.abandonedrails.com/huntsville-branch)). When the line was abandoned in 1984/1985, part of the line was sold to the HMCR with another part of it sold to the North Alabama Railroad Museum. However, there was a section between the two lines that wasn't bought by either of them. This section was mostly torn up, but some of the rails still remain.

As of March, 2009, the tracks are still in place out to the Rapid City airport along side SD Route 44. There were plans at one time to run a shuttle to the airport from downtown using the tracks. Apparently plans for this failed and the rails may be pulled up in the near future. Beyond the airport to Kadoka the tracks have been removed.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/s15rl863.jpgTrestle on the abandoned Milwaukee grade running in the southern Badlands National Park between Scenic and Interior.

The right-of-way heads straight into the ridge line in the distance, and is slowly being taken over by the native plants in the area. Some ballast remains, but rails and ties are absent.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/3cj2jd2a.jpgThis is the original 1900 Patagonia, Arizona station for this branch of the old New Mexico and Arizona Railroad. The branch was abandoned around 1960 after ASARCO Mining closed its Flux Mine, which was the only source of substantial revenue. The station was moved to its present location when Arizona Highway 82 was built and restored for use as a municipal building and real estate office.https://www.abandonedrails.com/fort-huachuca-branchmonthly2013-11-17https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0ukruo72.jpgThis is a remnant of the Fort Huachuca branch on the west side of Sierra Vista, facing west.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/6wldnv9t.jpgThe right-of-way is clearly visible on the west side of Sierra Vista 30+ years after the tracks were removed. Rusty pieces of metal are still scavenged off the ballast, and the rails in road crossings were not removed in some places until 2006.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/l19xfsla.jpgThe right-of-way is drivable in some places, as seen in this picture. Plans are underway to develop the former ROW in parts of Sierra Vista into low-income housing with townhomes.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/e5g75drr.jpgTaken in Sierra Vista, this represents one of the last vestiges of track poking through the asphalt through the city on its way to Fort Huachuca.https://www.abandonedrails.com/bisbee-branchmonthly2013-11-17https://photo.abandonedrails.com/iq9k6xh8.jpgThe end of the line north of Corta.

This ROW should last for a long time in the desert.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/p1aw2vaa.jpgThis tunnel is found on the Bisbee Branch. Parts of the ROW (and much of the town) are currently being rehabilitated by Freeport-McMoran as part of an ongoing soil restoration project. This tunnel is part of the abandoned track coming from Bisbee Junction, going past the Campbell Mine Shaft and ending up at the Lavender Pit mill/concentrator site. It was abandoned in the 1980s after the Campbell Mine had been shut down and all the ore had been leach processed.https://www.abandonedrails.com/little-river-to-galatiamonthly2013-11-17https://www.abandonedrails.com/christmas-branchmonthly2013-11-17https://photo.abandonedrails.com/xx153djb.jpgIf you look closely, you can see the last surviving section of this ROW before it merges with Highway 77 which runs towards Globe, Arizona. Highway 77 was relocated onto the railroad grade after the 1961 abandonment. The roadbed seen above on the hillside was the old highway.https://www.abandonedrails.com/independence-to-longtonmonthly2013-11-17https://www.abandonedrails.com/sterling-to-cheyennemonthly2013-11-17https://www.abandonedrails.com/kansas-city-to-springfieldmonthly2013-11-17https://www.abandonedrails.com/yuma-valley-railroadmonthly2013-11-17https://photo.abandonedrails.com/4d3rgid8.jpgThis view is facing east near Sunset Route Junction, where the Yuma Valley Railroad once connected with the Southern Pacific's Sunset Route in Yuma, AZ.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/jj2ylsin.jpgSomerton Siding, facing northeast near US 95/16th Avenue.

It reads: "Carter Brothers -- Western History owes the Carter Brothers a great debt. For they were the general contractors for the first six narrow gauge railroads in California from 1874 to 1902. They built freight, passenger, cable, and street cars. Their plant became Newark's first industry. Their cable cars are still in operation on San Francisco hills. Dedicated September 22, 1979 by Joaquin Murietta Chapter No. 13, E Clampus Vitus"https://photo.abandonedrails.com/gr0sjv3w.jpgThis picture shows the park that occupies the area where the Los Gatos station once stood. The SP line ran through the middle of this park.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/9hgqy8ye.jpgThe small building on the left is for local bus passengers, and was built a couple of decades ago. There were no markings or plaques to indicate that a passenger depot used to be there.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/6kx9i19u.jpgYESTERDAY: It's the spring of 1895 and a northbound passenger train of the South Pacific Coast pauses in the north portal of the railroad's Summit Tunnel at Wright's. Note the streaked form of water flowing over the spillway at right, indicating the long exposure times required by cameras of this era.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/jbqmluy5.jpgTODAY: Flash forward to the summer of 2010 and the story is a very different one. Seventy years of abandonment have taken their toll, as debris flows from the hillside above have blocked the spillway, and the resulting hydrological back up has collapsed much of the portal. Meanwhile, landslides have deposited nearly three feet of material atop the former grade and overgrowth has all by consumed what little else remains.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/d43ip17t.jpgA detailed view of the defunct spillway at Wrights, now dry and carpeted by a thick blanket of moss.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/52y802jk.jpgYESTERDAY: Looking into downtown Wright's from the Summit Tunnel, we see a simple harp switch standing guard over the entrance to the passing siding. Meanwhile, in the background, a string of boxcars stands at rest in front of the town's general store. Likely taken at some point between the turn of the century and the quake of 1906, this image captures Wright's in its twilight years, past the era of the region's great agricultural boom, silently watching as time and progress slowly leave it behind.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ogva8nod.jpgTODAY: Today, fragmentary remains of the general store's foundations are the only traces of the former town of Wright's. Time has indeed been a cruel mistress, and the elements have taken the role of a vindictive spouse. Between them, absolute destruction has been the overwhelming result.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/sxwqvbc7.jpgYESTERDAY: September of 1940 finds the last train to ever cross Los Gatos Creek at Wright's pulling up the rails behind it. Within a few days the bridge itself will be gone, leaving only the concrete piers and a trunk full of memories. A full 60 years after the railroad built this sleepy mountain hamlet, that same railroad now abandons it to the hills from which it sprouted.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/y5s1ah54.jpgTODAY: Although thick vegetation prevents the previous image from being recaptured in identical fashion, a brief hike along the creek reveals ghostly reminders of the past. Like ancient monuments of some long-forgotten civilization, the bridge piers at Wright's loom out of the shadows as we approach, reminding us that we are by no means the first people to tread past here.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/c34g11tg.jpgYESTERDAY: Located a quarter-mile upstream and across Los Gatos Creek from Wright's, Sunset Park was a wooded wonderland for picnics, nature lovers, and generally anyone looking to get away from the city for an afternoon.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/q5x5ynvo.jpgTODAY: Of all things present in the previous photo, only the creek itself remains.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/eopq4gwt.jpgYESTERDAY: Stenciled warnings on the bridge piers at Wright's warn of rocks falling from passing trains: A reference to the products hauled by the railroad from the quarry at Olympia.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/oq8t8i96.jpgTODAY: Look closely enough, and through the dual ravages of time and vandalism, the ghost of the original warning is still legible.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/aqx5j8bq.jpgYESTERDAY: Standing atop the north portal of Tunnel #3, the view into Laurel reveals the hotel on our imediate right, with the depot at a more distant left. Meanwhile, a unique "double tell-tale" stands guard before the switch, providing any high-riding persons with ample incentive to hit the deck.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/3fypd78a.jpgTODAY: The right-of-way serves as a private driveway, while all other traces have been erased.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/93llrd0v.jpgYESTERDAY: It's the summer of 1885, and a northbound passenger train prepares to depart the South Pacific Coast's Chestnut Street depot in Santa Cruz. Although the crew may pose stoically for the camera now, within moments they will be rolling north through the Mission Hill Tunnel in the background, heading toward the redwood-studded slopes of the Coast Range.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/59rary88.jpgTODAY: One hundred and twenty-five years later, and the tunnel beneath Mission Hill hasn't lost a step. Still framed by its original wood cribbing, today it serves as passage to the beach trains of the Santa Cruz, Big Trees & Pacific Railroad. The diminutive 4-4-0s of the narrow gauge may have been replaced by ex-Santa Fe CF-7s, but the spirit of this place remains unchanged.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0g7slkhk.jpgThis picture was taken in 1974 of the motor and passenger ferry "Garden City", one of the three boats owned by the South Pacific Coast Railroad. Built in 1879, she and her sisters served on the SPC's southern San Francisco bay runs in the 1880s until SPC was bought by the Southern Pacific Railroad, which used the three ex-SPC boats in its own SF-Oakland runs until 1929. After retirement, "Garden City" was permanently anchored in the Carquinez Strait at Eckley Pier (between Crockett and Porta Costa) where it served as a sportsman's resort until it was abandoned some time in the 1960s. During a mysterious onshore brush fire in 1983, it was set alight and was burned to the water line. Its rusting drivetrain, boilers, and other mechanical equipment, as well as the remaining pilings from the pier to which it was anchored, are all that remain today of "Garden City" and can be seen in satellite imagery.https://www.abandonedrails.com/washington-to-varnamonthly2013-11-11https://www.abandonedrails.com/peoria-to-springfieldmonthly2013-11-11https://www.abandonedrails.com/morton-to-lincolnmonthly2013-11-11https://www.abandonedrails.com/frankfort-to-mesickmonthly2013-11-11https://www.abandonedrails.com/pekin-districtmonthly2013-11-11https://www.abandonedrails.com/fort-smith-subiaco-and-rock-island-railroadmonthly2013-11-10https://www.abandonedrails.com/plainville-branchmonthly2013-11-10https://www.abandonedrails.com/minneapolis-districtmonthly2013-11-10https://www.abandonedrails.com/alma-districtmonthly2013-11-10https://www.abandonedrails.com/westport-to-seymourmonthly2013-11-09https://photo.abandonedrails.com/11gh118a.jpgA bridge found on the former right-of-way, near the eastern terminus in Westport, IN.

The PRR and LGV shared this station until 1952; the PRR's four-track mainline was to the right (where the three tracks currently are), and the LGV's track extended from the yard to the end of the platform.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/shjq5ray.jpgOne of the few bridge abutments that remain from the Ligonier Valley Railroad east of Kingston; this one is located between Kingston and Longbridge that was built to serve a spur across the Loyalhanna River (a quarry, it is believed). This part of the line was torn up with the rest of the line in 1952.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/b3li3p7x.jpgAs of May, 2011, Norfolk Southern has began tearing up the rails and ties at the wye (near Main Street) in Latrobe, as seen here.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/uonpwn1e.jpgIt appears that they will be removing all the tracks along the abandoned right-of-way.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1tm8eovc.jpgThis was once the station at Darlington, just to the west of Idlewild Park, circa 2006. This station has since been restored by the Ligonier Valley Railroad Association and houses a museum.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/jsge7cc8.jpgThese are the abutments for a bridge that took the Bakers Spur of the Ligonier Valley Railroad across the Loyalhanna River. The Bakers Spur left the mainline about one mile left of Longbridge, crossed the Loyalhanna, and then ran along the creekbed until just before it reached Longbridge. It only served a handful of industries.

Mount Judah Road crosses the abandoned right-of-way on the overpass in the foreground. Beyond that, the entire bore of the 1,659-foot-long Tunnel #6 (the summit tunnel), is visible.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ua3pq7a9.jpgInside Tunnel #6, the summit tunnel. The granite that composes these walls is some of the hardest rock in North America, yet this quarter-mile-long passage was constructed with little more than picks, shovels, wheelbarrows, sweat and blood. Note the streaks of soot along the roof, despite the last steam locomotive having passed through here more than 50 years ago.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/wf1x1bnv.jpgFacing east into Tunnel #8 with the summit tunnel immediately behind, this area is known as the China Wall. A thousand feet up above the shores of Donner Lake, the stone retaining wall at right was built to keep the summit's notorious avalanches from destroying the snowsheds and wiping out the tracks.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/74k70b5y.jpgEast of Tunnel #8, the cavernous and dust-filled interior of the mighty Donner Snowsheds lends itself to some interesting lighting effects.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/w1b3f9dk.jpgTUNNEL ZERO: Looking east along Track #1. Note how the grade widens here as if diverging. The entrance to Tunnel #0 lies hidden behind the trees at center. Track #2 can be seen entering Tunnel #23 at left.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/xd9chju2.jpgTUNNEL ZERO: Concealed by trees and undergrowth, the west portal still stands. These blocks are the Penryn granite that was rejected for use in the tunnel's interior.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/vcvl2vpy.jpgTUNNEL ZERO: Blocks of Rocklin granite still line the tunnel's interior; the tunnel's horseshoe shape is obvious in the shape of its portal. Halfway through the tunnel, the interior abruptly changes from granite to concrete: Evidence of the damage done to this structure by the construction of nearby Tunnel # 23.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ktcwtglk.jpgTUNNEL ZERO: Looking west into the east portal of Tunnel #0. From this perspective, the unique "horseshoe" design is clearly visible.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1xjonhq1.jpgTUNNEL ZERO: Looking west, Tunnel #0 is almost completely obscured by vegetation. The east portal of Tunnel 23 can be seen at right.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/a2e4t7e8.jpgView faces east from the snowshed at Norden. The maintenance cars (weed sprayers?) at left are on a remnant of SP's track 1 that went over Donner Summit. This section of track was removed in 1993 to save on annual snow removal costs. The active main line is barely visible to the right; it uses a lower grade through a long tunnel.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8dg04tyi.jpgView faces west from a location called Eder; snow partially covers the former right of way of Track 1 as it descends from Donner Summit.https://www.abandonedrails.com/shawnee-to-pauls-valleymonthly2013-06-16https://photo.abandonedrails.com/erbipigm.jpgThe AT&SF Shawnee station, facing south.

Some old rotting cross ties remain.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/4adam8nq.jpgThe picture above (from the middle of the former ROW) shows the former ACL depot in Lamar, SC along the former Sumter - Darlinton segment of the line. The depot has been well preserved by the business that occupies it now. SAL also had a line into Lamar from Lydia, which continued on to Timmonsville. The section from Timmonsville to Lamar provided the last rail service into Lamar until it was removed in the 1970s.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0m6qh92m.jpgAlong Grier Street just north of US 401 (Calhoun Street), you can still make out the ROW. This portion of the former Sumter-Darlington line remained in place until the 1970s as it was used to access the former SAL Sumter-Bishopville line. Before the ACL-SAL merger, it was used to exchange cars between ACL and SAL.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/c1ffyefp.jpgA short distance north of the picture to the left, the old ROW can clearly be seen along Loring Place just east of Lafayette Drive. This was the end of the portion that remained in service until the 1970s. The old SAL wye was in the vicinity of the tree line at the end of the cleared ROW. It is not known what this area looked like when both the SAL wye and the ACL line were in place (did the wye cross the ACL line?).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1slw4xsm.jpgWinkles Road to the northeast of the US 76/378 bypass, looking southwest towards Sumter. This is the former ROW of the Sumter-Darlington ACL line. The ROW cannot be made out on either end of Winkles Road as it has either grown over or been built over with neighborhoods.

The sturdy bed is traversing one of many low lying, swampy areas of Nassau County, so it is raised several feet above ground level. The Florida Department of Transportation erected a sign commemorating the importance of the Florida Railroad to the State's interior development. The park's namesake walked the entire length of the line in 1867 and recorded his journey in his early writings. (The marker is located about 1/2 mile west of the CSX crossing on SR 200/A1A in Yulee, FL.)https://photo.abandonedrails.com/9a895k4d.jpgPLUMMER CREEK: Plummer Creek is a small tidal river in Nassau County. The Florida Railroad once crossed it via a Howe truss, but the span was replaced with a trestle. When SAL abandoned the line in 1954, they sawed the bridge pilings off at the water line at low tide. You can still see what is left of the pilings when it has been dry weather and at very low tides. The rail bed is still intact on either side. It is at least 4 to 5 feet above ground level as it approaches the creek. The railroad did the same thing to a longer trestle over Boggy Creek several miles west of Plummer, but it is less visible from SR 200/A1A.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/2urwkvm2.jpgPLUMMER CREEK: Plummer Creek is a small tidal river in Nassau County.

The one-track bed is visible on both sides of US 1 and Brandies, but it widens to over 60 feet west of the Depot because it at one time accommodated two rival railroads. The Florida Railroad (SAL) was built first (1856), then the Savannah, Florida and Western (ACL) was constructed in 1881. This major north-south line paralleled the existing line for about 2,000 feet before curving away toward Waycross, GA and Jacksonville, FL. Around 1905, the ACL removed this sharp S-shape curve when they realigned and double tracked the line to its current location west of downtown Callahan. The ACL kept a spur line on the bed to serve Callahan until the ACL-SAL merged in 1967. The SAL continued to use the wide rail bed as part of the Gross Cutoff until their successor, CSX, abandoned the track in 1985.https://www.abandonedrails.com/algonac-transit-authoritymonthly2012-08-02https://www.abandonedrails.com/alabama-tennessee-and-northern-railroadmonthly2012-08-02https://www.abandonedrails.com/east-china-to-marine-citymonthly2012-08-02https://photo.abandonedrails.com/wpmhuuft.jpgThe PH&D bridge over Belle River can be seen from Recor Road in East China, MI.

In 1898, construction crews used explosives and machine drills to carve a 40-foot-deep trench through the basaltic capstone of this geologic curiosity to allow safe passage of the tracks.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/97wywg8f.jpgNOW: Today, the cut is silent except for the whistling of the wind and the sounds of songbirds. The multifaceted walls, however, are still recognizable.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/02kfru6e.jpgTHEN: The largest obstacle to stand in the way of completion of the Angels Branch was the canyon of the Stanislaus River. Over a thousand feet deep and a mile across in many areas, Newell conquered this yawning chasm with his characteristic innovation. A quartet of switchbacks and a large, steel-truss bridge were ultimately required to accomplish a crossing that many engineers had previously declared impossible.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1skke787.jpgNOW: Today, even after more than 70 years of abandonment, the outline of the switchback is still visible on the hillside.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/yhxy93ey.jpgTHEN: Perched precariously atop a cliff, a thousand feet above the river, the colorfully named Gee Whiz Point got is moniker from the reaction most passengers had upon seeing the breathtaking vista here for the first time.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/mxflx3g6.jpgNOW: Even with the specter of New Melones Lake looming large in the valley below, the view from this point can still inspire awe.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/m0mn449b.jpgTHEN: Here, the railroad section foreman is seen standing in front of his company home at Carson Hill. The primitive speeder behind him was used for daily track inspections. (Note the wooden water barrel, wrapped in burlap for insulation.)https://photo.abandonedrails.com/mmw14u92.jpgNOW: The tracks are long gone, and the foreman is long since dead and in the ground, but his company-built home still stands on the hillside beyond.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/xoyeh85v.jpgTHEN: The Angels Camp depot: Portal to the city in the early years of the 20th century.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/mkssfjfw.jpgNOW: Currently serving as a private residence, the building is showing its age, but the distinctive ticket window, clapboard siding and attached freight shed are still present. One can only hope that someday this historic structure might be restored to its former glory.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/s81a6pdu.jpgThis shows the branch extending from the north end of the yard at Jamestown; the view faces north. The passenger car barely visible at far right is used for Sierra Railway (Railtown 1897) excursions. In the distance at right is a partially dismantled crane lettered for Pickering Lumber. The branch itself crosses the Sierra Avenue on an S-curve. Those crossbucks look authentically old, while the freight cars in the shadows are side-dump maintenance cars. Some Sierra Railway hopper cars are also stored here.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/m58ccimm.jpgThis shows the branch one block north, 7th Street crossing, with tank cars in the distance. These tank cars are in poor shape and likely have not seen service in decades.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/cdb9yflb.jpgThis shows the northernmost extent of track in the area, 6th Street crossing.

Photo taken from the old GM&O depot site in 2001. These rails were GM&N / GM&O / ICG; rails removed in the mid 1980s. This north-south line crossed the old IC Aberdeen branch in Ackerman. In early November 2002, the rails were cut again one block south of this photo. The new abandonment included part of the old IC / GM&O turn out, the old main, a side track, and an industrial siding to an abandoned plant.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ndsgsidg.jpgLooking south from Bankhead Street in New Albany in 2009. These tracks have now been removed and a rail-trail resides in their place.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/lwd5sq0x.jpgLooking north across Bankhead Street towards the Ripley and New Albany Yard. The in-street track was left in place so the R&NA could salvage the rubber railroad crossing mats. The mat and tracks have since been removed and paved over.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/abn5uhhf.jpgThe bridge over Main Street. The tracks here are out of alignment due to a U-Haul truck hitting the low overhead clearance underneath the bridge. At the time, trackage further south was being used for car storage, and this damage caused the stored cars to be trapped until bridge repairs were made.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/lt8e0sap.jpgA view of the GM&O's former Relay Yard in New Albany. Once a much larger yard, only a couple of tracks remain which were being used only for car storage when seen here in 2010. Today, none of this exists; only a rail trail remains.https://www.abandonedrails.com/adrian-to-hillsidemonthly2012-04-29https://www.abandonedrails.com/ottawa-lake-to-rigamonthly2012-04-29https://www.abandonedrails.com/ypsilanti-branchmonthly2012-04-29https://www.abandonedrails.com/okolona-to-calhoun-citymonthly2012-04-29https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ya4prm1i.jpgThe old Mobile & Ohio, then Okolona, Houston & Calhoun City RR depot in Houston, MS. This depot has been used as a residence, and is used as a small business today. It was separate from the Gulf, Mobile & Northern depot/station in Houston and perhaps survived because the M&O abandoned this line before the merger with the GM&N.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/39f9umdp.jpgThis former depot for the Okolona, Houston & Calhoun City Railroad sits at the end of Depot Street in Houston, MS. It's days of serving railroad passengers are long gone and now farm implements are sold out of it.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/dlaayvh7.jpgEven after being abandoned in 1940, this short section of track from the OH&CC still survives in Houston, MS leading to a concrete loading dock. It's thought the GM&O might have kept a spur here. The Houston depot for the OH&CC is in the woods just behind the semi trailer. A grocery store sits behind the camera on top of the former ROW.https://www.abandonedrails.com/oxford-to-bruce-junctionmonthly2012-04-29https://photo.abandonedrails.com/hv515c2r.jpgLooking north along the abandoned right-of-way, between Taylor and Springdale.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/hu0v12cm.jpgThis bridge spans the Yocona River in a remote area along the line.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/lpfv97am.jpgThe Yocona River bridge displays a sign with some numbers, possibly a mile marker.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/bvbyveq8.jpgThe restored depot at Oxford, MS.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/s1mx7qky.jpgLooking north along the right-of-way at the Oxford Depot.

This is the last remaining segment of this line, and is 15 miles long. It is still in use by a volunteer railroad, the Toledo, Lake Erie, & Western.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/7ecavwnm.jpgLooking southwest near the community of Waterville. This is the last remaining segment of this line, and is 15 miles long. It is still in use by a volunteer railroad, the Toledo, Lake Erie, & Western.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/wijj3clk.jpgLooking southwest in the community of McClure, Ohio. The railroad has long been abandoned here, as evident by the fairly large trees now growing on the ROW. The raised-railbed can be seen running across the middle of the frame.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/anr36fc9.jpgThe Cloverleaf's Maumee River bridge, in Grand Rapids. It is still in use (occasionally) by the TLE&W tourist railroad.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/wpagjn5x.jpgLooking north, the entrance to the bridge.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/d8vl79vv.jpgSame location, looking south.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/kdq1venf.jpgThe TLE&W's "yard" in Grand Rapids.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/d5cbj06l.jpgLooking southwest off of Pratt Lane in Grand Rapids, the end of the line is where the boxcar sits, buried in weeds.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/lprnjlia.jpgLooking north off of CR-1 in Grand Rapids, is the former crossing, now simply a hump in the road.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1ybjterb.jpgLooking at the switch just southwest of the I-475 overpass in Maumee, one can see a cluster of the stub ends of once through-line railroads. The track that goes off to the right is all that remains of the Wabash line to Montpelier (https://www.abandonedrails.com/montpelier-to-maumee). The track ends in the distance, and the remaining stub is used by NS for car storage, as pictured here. Looking straight ahead, notice the "kink" the existing track makes slightly to the left. The Wabash line that ran towards Ft. Wayne, Indiana (now abandoned to Liberty Center (https://www.abandonedrails.com/liberty-center-to-maumee)) ran exactly straight away from the frame of this photo. The existing track on the left "kinks" away, then parallels the abandoned ROW. It is a "new" connection to the old Cloverleaf Division (https://www.abandonedrails.com/cloverleaf-division-1). The original alignment of the Cloverleaf followed US-24 into Maumee, where it then followed US-25 into downtown Toledo. At some point, it was consolidated with the Wabash lines all the way through Maumee, and an S-curve was built about a mile or so south of the photo, where it reconnects with the original alignment around Stitt Rd. This had to have been done before the construction of I-475 and US-24 in the 1960s, since part of US-24 runs atop the grade, while there is no overpass built into I-475. NS ownership ends just beyond the Dutch Rd. crossing (NS serves a few customers in the area), then a tourist railroad picks up ownership all the way to the line's current end, just outside of Grand Rapids, Ohio.

Both sheds were built into earthen berms, and were both empty when this picture was taken.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/005elaqp.jpgLooking southeast from the maintenance shed location. The line is beginning to climb the interior side of the summit grade. There is evidence of another parallel roadbed at ground level just to the east, suggesting that this cut was a later relocation to ease the uphill grade for loaded trains heading from the mine. The route paralleling the right-of-way is now a 4x4 road known as the Bradshaw Trail.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1ys4dfew.jpgOne of many smaller washouts on the line between Summit and I-10.

The boxcar sitting at the DCA Food Industries end of the warehouse was a rare (by 1966) PRR X-31 boxcar built in the 1930s, rebuilt with higher center roof in the early 1940s as an X-31F and dubbed "turtle roof" style. It was leased as a storage car to DCA until later that summer and probably scrapped when the lease expired and the car was returned to the PRR. Bowser makes a model of this type of car.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/dvb6fk0r.jpgBaldwin #8170 spotting Great Northern boxcar at Wilson's loading dock and B&LE hopper on the low trestle the siding traversed. This may have been the very last coal load for Wilson because a couple months later the trestle was damaged and never put back in service. All lumber shipments were spotted just south of Magruder Avenue from then to the end of service on the branch.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/kdn34l77.jpgLoaded hoppers bound for Spring Grove on the return trip: B&O offset hopper, rare B&O war emergency hopper, WM twin, and PRR hopper in the rear.

The rails are still intact at this point — the rails are taken up just a few yards beyond the photograph. Judging by the growth over the rails, they probably should've removed these as well.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/7sh28bj6.jpgThe rails joining in from the left are the end of the line as it joins the old ACL line that is the main line from Tampa to Bradenton. Heading north is the famous Tropicana Juice Train, just after crossing the Little Manatee River Bridge (which runs west of US 301) just leaving Bradenton and headed for Tampa. CSX services Conrad Yelvington about a mile east of here on what is known as the "Parrish Sub". The Sarasota Sub, however, used to cross the Little Manatee River on the east side of US 301 prior to its abandonment, as its line would continue on through Sarasota and south towards Venice.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0a59ojrf.jpgThis point of the railroad is in Willow, FL — the northernmost point of the active railroad, although freight action hasn't been seen on this part of the line in 23 years. This is where FGCRR stores its rolling stock and locos during the week until it runs the excursions Saturday and Sunday.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/pix2dgyc.jpgThis point of the railroad has never been abandoned, but sold to Florida Power. Florida Gulf Coast Railroad Museum has operated excursion trains on these rails since 1981.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/3wtt146u.jpgThis picture is looking south — the northernmost point of the abandoned ROW — just north is the CSX's phosphate line in Durant, FL. The ROW is well maintained 18 years after the track was taken up. If you look closely, you'll see where the lined wyed off to catch the eastbound main track, where the Tropicana trains used to rumble towards Edison Junction prior to taking its turn to the north and continue through Plant City. This route avoided a crew change in Tampa.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/5s2vgb0m.jpgLithia, FL looking west. Just down the line is where CSX stored cars for years prior to the line's abandonment in 1986.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/q90fxv6t.jpgParrish, FL — US 301 grade crossing. FGCRR runs its excursion trains from this point and heads south towards willow. For years, the rails west of here were seldom used for transport to the power plant. In 2003 however, the rails west of here were refurbished to allow Florida Power to transport heavy transformers to the plant (Sorry, no coal trains to this plant). On the side track sits an old FMD-40 that FGCRR has leased.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/06fgvu4i.jpgAnother picture of the abandoned Little Manatee River bridge.https://www.abandonedrails.com/kirkwood-cut-offmonthly2011-04-19https://photo.abandonedrails.com/xbgg18vf.jpgLooking south in Kirkwood near the beginning of the Kirkwood Cut-off.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/16u22932.jpgLooking south towards the signal guarding the crossing with BNSF (directly behind the photographer).

This grade separation was built in the early 60s, when railroads still installed their heralds on bridges. This faded herald says 'Union Pacific Railroad'; later heralds were modified to just say 'Union Pacific'. This track is now a siding used by BNSF for car storage. The TTX flatcars in the background are on another siding that connects with the BNSF Transcon, which is parallel to the ex-UP here also.https://www.abandonedrails.com/torrance-branchmonthly2010-10-18https://photo.abandonedrails.com/xkq0lq1b.jpgThis bridge, designed by architect Irving Gill, was built in 1913. A stylized drawing of this bridge is now used as a symbol for the City of Torrance.The bridge originally carried an SP spur that served a steel mill out of the picture to the left. The steel mill was torn down in the late 70s/early 80s. There is still an isolated section of track on the bridge. The line below, a one time PE route, is still used by Union Pacific. It was re-built with used welded rail and new ballast earlier in 2003.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/qv0cmvfd.jpgThis view is facing south at the corner of Normandie and Sepulveda in the Harbor City area. This remnant was finally removed in 2003 after the gas station property was demolished and readied for redevelopment. It was near this location in 1966 that an SP mogul was loaded onto a large truck for transport to the Lomita Railroad Museum.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/r8fldpq6.jpgThis view is facing east at Belle Porte Avenue in Harbor City. This remnant was photographed in 1996, long after the rest of the tracks were removed in this area (around 1973).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/yqcj53ab.jpgThese tracks had been dormant, largely covered in dirt and weeds, for many years. A real estate developer received permission to build houses on this land, so the first step in preparation was to "dig up" the old track and dismantle it.

This view looks south on the EC mainline. Note that there are three tracks here. One track is a passing siding. The date of this picture is unknown, but it was sometime during the 1940s — the train order signal indicates pre-CTC days. Today, only the road remains.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/c2ys27y3.jpgSAL local passenger train at Grove Street Station, Charleston, SC, taken on the last day of passenger service to Charleston.

This is the crossing with the ACL in north Charleston. After the SCL merger, this track was taken up from here to the south. The line to the north is still active today as part of CSX.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/t85irgmg.jpgThis was taken in the same location as the Stono Station picture and shows present-day Stono, SC. The Stono Station was formerly to the left; the tracks once ran where the poles are laying.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/85lk29i8.jpgThis is Hank Siding, just south of Coosaw at milepost 475. The Hank pass track was located here. SCL pulled the rails up in this area in 1978. Today this is an access road to Coosaw Farms Plantation. Note the wide rigth-of-way here.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/j3x3mx1h.jpgThe Broad River trestle, looking south towards Savannah. SCL removed the rails in this area in 1978 and the bridge was used for fishing until it caught fire and burned in 1984. Only the center swing span survived the fire. Today it is a burned-out hulk rusting away.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/3en67qux.jpgThe Broad River trestle, looking north. At this time, the bridge was used as a fishing pier. However, the bridge caught fire in 1984 and only the steel section of the bridge remains today.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/38x6mynv.jpgThe Broad River trestle, present day, looking north towards Coosaw and Charleston. The wooden portion of the bridge is now gone due to fire. The steel sections remain, as well as the swing section of the bridge, which was undamaged by the fire since it was in the open position.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ehkvle0m.jpgThis is Levy, SC, looking north towards Pritchard. SCL is in the process of removing the tracks on this last remaining portion of the EC mainline; they had been dormant since 1978, except for being used for occasional car storage. A carload of tennis court material was unloaded here in 1980. New River bridge is just up ahead.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/pycmulwu.jpgNew River trestle, Pritchard, SC, looking south towards Levy and Savannah. The track was pulled up here late in 1982; they had been dormant since 1978. This bridge was burned shortly after the picture was taken, arson was suspected.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/7necrg9g.jpgPritchard, SC, looking north at SC Route 46 overpass. SCL left this section of the EC intact for storage and possible future development in Beaufort County. It remained unused from 1978 to 1982. Just south of this location is the New River trestle. Today, this right-of-way is part of the New River Rail-Trail.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/amgsbbkj.jpgLobeco, SC, looking south. This surviving portion of the EC mainline was left in place to serve a dye factory located here. Shortly after this picture was taken, the dye factory switched to trucks, and by April 1986, this track was removed -- the last section of the EC mainline.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/f2o4d4uo.jpgTaken from the US Route 17 overpass, looking south, this surviving section of the EC is still active in early 1986. It survives to sever Hutchingson Island, just across Savannah River in South Carolina. Rail traffic would disappear by 1992.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/e1f8d83h.jpgNorthbound CSX local has just left Hutchingson Island and is on the last surviving section of the SAL freight route as it heads to the connection with the former ACL mainline at South Hardeeville. Shortly after this picture was taken, the line became inactive; the tracks are still in place yet unused.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ntpbah1t.jpgLooking north at Pritchard, SC, on the abandoned SAL mainline under the SC Route 46 overpass, 1982. Track has been out of service since late 1977 when the new connection went into service. A few cars were once stored here in 1980.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/twgyuj29.jpgLooking south under the SC Route 46 overpass at Pritchard, SC, on the former SAL mainline, 1982. A ahort siding had been located here as well as the Pritchard Depot on the left. This was at Milepost 498.7.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/7n48oa24.jpgCrossing signals still in place at Levy, SC.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1g3mwmds.jpgCrossing signals still in place at Levy, SC.

Just past the grade crossing was the Levy Pass Track. When the SAL still operated here, the CTC signals for the siding were located about 100 feet past the grade crossing on the right hand side. The concrete base for the signal house can be seen in the picture. The siding opened up to the right (west side). Boxcars were stored on this section of track as late as August, 1982.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/f3rk753d.jpgControl box for crossing signals that will never operate again.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/qkatedv6.jpgThe abandoned tracks cross Levy Road. This crossing was in the middle of the Levy Siding, which had already been pulled up prior to the abandonment. View is looking north.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/jn5hke3r.jpgLooking south at Levy Road. The Levy Siding ran through here alongside the mainline, but it was taken up prior to abandonment of the line.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ioovqfgg.jpgThis is the main track of the Hutchingson Island Sub looking west towards the connection with the mainline at South Hardeeville. At the time, the tracks were only 5 years old, being completed in September 1977. This line was built by the SCL to replace the EC north to Coosaw.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/u67tuskn.jpgLooking east on the Hutchingson Island Sub back towards the connection with the old SAL mainline. Despite its "new" appearance here, today it is overgrown from non-use and virtually impassable -- trees grow on the bridge, even! It has been out-of-service since about 1993. While dormant now, the new nearby container port will hopefully bring new life to this rusty line.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8kvk5a15.jpgThis is the Savannah River Lift Bridge before it was hit.

Photo is from about 1600 feet above the surface after taking off from the Toledo Express airport.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/prhx17wq.jpgAt Providence Street in Whitehouse, the abandoned ROW continues southwest to Liberty Center. The building under construction at the right is a new restroom facility for the rail-trail; when finished, it apparently will resemble the depot that was in Whitehouse.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/lxl7luv6.jpgA caboose painted in the livery of the trail's namesake, and of the original railroad that once owned the rails.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/yganutp8.jpgFrom Whitehouse, the ROW continues to Maumee.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/kq6i57c9.jpgHobson Street in Napoleon, looking northeast. Here, the ex-Wabash mainline is barely still in service, though looking very ragged.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/25dn7wh0.jpgSame location, opposite direction. Facing southwest towards Napoleon proper.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/oc2226gt.jpgLiberty Center, the end of the line. Looking northeast at CR-7.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ievuxxuv.jpgLiberty Center, looking southwest at East Cherry Street. According to satellite maps, there is a siding just behind the photo that runs to a Praxair gas plant, however, based on the conditions of the rails and the tall weeds behind, it is doubtful if it is ever used anymore. https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1ybjterb.jpgLooking at the switch just southwest of the I-475 overpass in Maumee, one can see a cluster of the stub ends of once through-line railroads. The track that goes off to the right is all that remains of the Wabash line to Montpelier (https://www.abandonedrails.com/montpelier-to-maumee). The track ends in the distance, and the remaining stub is used by NS for car storage, as pictured here. Looking straight ahead, notice the "kink" the existing track makes slightly to the left. The Wabash line that ran towards Ft. Wayne, Indiana (now abandoned to Liberty Center (https://www.abandonedrails.com/liberty-center-to-maumee)) ran exactly straight away from the frame of this photo. The existing track on the left "kinks" away, then parallels the abandoned ROW. It is a "new" connection to the old Cloverleaf Division (https://www.abandonedrails.com/cloverleaf-division-1). The original alignment of the Cloverleaf followed US-24 into Maumee, where it then followed US-25 into downtown Toledo. At some point, it was consolidated with the Wabash lines all the way through Maumee, and an S-curve was built about a mile or so south of the photo, where it reconnects with the original alignment around Stitt Rd. This had to have been done before the construction of I-475 and US-24 in the 1960s, since part of US-24 runs atop the grade, while there is no overpass built into I-475. NS ownership ends just beyond the Dutch Rd. crossing (NS serves a few customers in the area), then a tourist railroad picks up ownership all the way to the line's current end, just outside of Grand Rapids, Ohio. It is abandoned southwest from Grand Rapids.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ddild9ot.jpgLooking northeast, the "new" track that parallels the former Wabash ROW towards the yards in Maumee. This track makes an "S" curve, where it reconnects with the original alignment of the Cloverleaf. The Wabash track was next to this track to the left.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/d3kwd5fc.jpgLooking southwest near Maumee, at the beginning of the Wabash Cannonball Trail-South Fork, which now runs atop the ROW to Liberty Center.https://www.abandonedrails.com/montpelier-to-maumeemonthly2010-08-27https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8asj3nk1.jpgLooking west, an aerial view of the abandoned railroad right-of-way, now a rail trail, between Maumee and Wauseon. Taken after departure from the Toledo Express airport.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/18ca1eke.jpgSouth Delta, the ROW (unfinished portion of the Wabash Cannonball Trail) continues west to Montpelier.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/kb4fg8x1.jpgSame location, looking east.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/xaxirn6e.jpgA bridge over a creek in South Delta; looks like a nice little pedestrian bridge built when the ROW was converted to a trail...https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ab0qbgb4.jpg...but looking underneath reveals its railroad heritage.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ahlxk7ya.jpgA nice find, a single telegraph pole on the side of the ROW.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1ybjterb.jpgLooking at the switch just southwest of the I-475 overpass in Maumee, one can see a cluster of the stub ends of once through-line railroads. The track that goes off to the right is all that remains of the Wabash line to Montpelier (https://www.abandonedrails.com/montpelier-to-maumee). The track ends in the distance, and the remaining stub is used by NS for car storage, as pictured here. Looking straight ahead, notice the "kink" the existing track makes slightly to the left. The Wabash line that ran towards Ft. Wayne, Indiana (now abandoned to Liberty Center (https://www.abandonedrails.com/liberty-center-to-maumee)) ran exactly straight away from the frame of this photo. The existing track on the left "kinks" away, then parallels the abandoned ROW. It is a "new" connection to the old Cloverleaf Division (https://www.abandonedrails.com/cloverleaf-division-1). The original alignment of the Cloverleaf followed US-24 into Maumee, where it then followed US-25 into downtown Toledo. At some point, it was consolidated with the Wabash lines all the way through Maumee, and an S-curve was built about a mile or so south of the photo, where it reconnects with the original alignment around Stitt Rd. This had to have been done before the construction of I-475 and US-24 in the 1960s, since part of US-24 runs atop the grade, while there is no overpass built into I-475. NS ownership ends just beyond the Dutch Rd. crossing (NS serves a few customers in the area), then a tourist railroad picks up ownership all the way to the line's current end, just outside of Grand Rapids, Ohio. It is abandoned southwest from Grand Rapids.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/l3xm65xb.jpgThis is the end of the line for the old Wabash. Facing west, the north "fork" of the Wabash Cannonball Trail begins just across the street, and heads towards Montpelier.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0ambbyr6.jpgLooking east, the rails were cut 20 years ago by Norfolk Southern; this is as far west as the track goes now.

Many trestles remain in this swampy patch of the GC&P. This line was last used in 1919, and it is surprising to see the remains today, almost 90 years from when it was abandoned.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/lx05d2rr.jpgAlso near Fulton, the GC&P runs straight as an arrow along an old canal and forest. One can almost pretend what it was like to amble along on the train back in 1910.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ra4csk48.jpgThis railroad spike was found on the GC&P right-of-way. If it does indeed was part of the GC&P track, that dates this spike to 1919.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/w18qs0rv.jpgA comparison of two railroad spikes. The one on the right is a spike found along the abandoned right-of-way of the GC&P (seen previously). The one of the left is a newer spike from a nearby abandoned CSX mainline, formerly the Seaboard Air Line.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/9cprydig.jpgThe former GC&P right-of-way also contained a buried glass insulator.

Originally, this station was known as "Flume" for a wooden box flume that carried water over the tracks. Today that flume is gone, having been replaced by the steel pipe clearly visible at the top of the frame.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ayh7adxa.jpgThe box flume that originally gave this station its name may be gone, but traces of its presence still remain. This stone foundation, just a few yards east of the current water main, once braced the wooden flume.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/j7gda2tt.jpgComing around a bend in the train about a mile-and-a-half east of Friedenberg, what do we happen to stumble across? (There must be a train nearby... It left a fresh set of tracks.)https://photo.abandonedrails.com/tcvpo5x4.jpgErosion can be an unsettling thing. Washouts such as this are relatively common today along the West Side, and are becoming more common every year.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8f7oogav.jpgI've heard of narrow gauge before, but this is just ridiculous!https://photo.abandonedrails.com/dvybn8yq.jpgTHEN: Shay #10, the largest narrow gauge Shay ever built, leads a westbound log train upgrade out of Dry Tank Station. Although the notoriously poor depth-of-field characteristics of cameras of this era makes it difficult to tell, the sheer immensity of the Tuolumne River Canyon in this area is on full display in the background.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/w9982tvs.jpgNOW: Although heavy undergrowth prevents one from taking the EXACT position of the historical photographer, this view from a slightly lower elevation shows a scene that has changed little in the more than 60 years since the previous photo was taken.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/6k62ehr4.jpgDRY TANK STATION: Like all water tanks along the West Side, the station of Dry Tank was too fed by a natural spring. However this particular spring perpetually failed to live up to the railroad's expectations, and would forever give this station its dubious name. Dry Tank also featured a short passing track. This track is still in place today, as evidenced by this set of intact switch points with the bridal bar still attached.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1cyt69k2.jpgTHEN: The walls of Big Rock Cut near milepost five dwarf Shay #9 as she leads a westbound load of logs toward the mill. Ordinarily the nimble rails of the narrow gauge would simply curve around such obstacles, but in some places the natural topography prevented even this, and massive excavations such as this were the result.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/wk0e2i6l.jpgNOW: Tree growth and erosion have done little to change the view here. Today, more than 60 years after the original photo was taken, the scene is still clearly recognizable.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/c4rfvo2e.jpgThe inner "safety rail", visible in the original photo of Big Rock Cut, is still in place, faithfully guarding against the derailment of a train that will never come.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/jdi4a7gu.jpgTHEN: Challenging conditions require innovative solutions, and nowhere was this more evident that with the West Side's telegraph lines. The steep slopes and shifting soils of the Central Sierras meant traditional communications poles tended to lean and fall over time. To combat this, engineers resorted to bracing their lines with secondary poles, arranged in the "A-frame" configuration seen near the center of this photograph. The added width at the base stopped the downhill slide of many poles and allowed company communications to flow uninterrupted.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/3u9a95jn.jpgA living testament to the effectiveness of the "A-frame" design, this telegraph pole still stands in what could only be described as some seriously unstable ground, perched precariously on the edge of a bluff nearly a thousand feet above the turbulent Tuolumne River.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/n6bgsgpn.jpgSunset in the Sierras is always a stunning experience.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/dkpaoc8c.jpgJust a few yards from where the tracks once crossed the north fork of the Tuolumne, this rusted, home-built turntable is virtually hidden amongst a sea of thick brush and Manzinita plants. The square pit is wood-framed and the base appears to have been fashioned from some piece of re-purposed mill equipment: perhaps a flywheel from one of the stationary "yarder" steam engines. Rails were welded directly to the top of this base and reinforced at their ends with cross pieces of used boiler tubes welded into place. At only 15 feet in length, no locomotive could ever be turned here. Rather this was intended for turning speeders, and likely dates to the era of the West Side & Cherry Valley. The bearings that support it, however, have long since been rusted through by exposure to the elements, and the entire assembly steadfastly refuses to turn.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/aj9sqgro.jpgTHEN: Two picnic trains en route to Nashton pause for the cameras at River Bridge in 1902. One of four large wooden trestles on the West Side, River Bridge was unique for its straight main span and curved approaches.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/34a78ub7.jpgNOW: Today, time and nature have conspired to render this scene unrecognizable. The bridge itself fell victim to one of the regions many forest fires several years ago, and overgrowth along the hillside has obscured any view of its former location. Sometimes father time can be a cruel parent.https://www.abandonedrails.com/academy-junction-to-bowiemonthly2010-05-12https://www.abandonedrails.com/casaba-branchmonthly2010-05-12https://www.abandonedrails.com/culver-junction-to-allamonthly2010-05-07https://www.abandonedrails.com/ware-shoals-railroadmonthly2010-05-07https://photo.abandonedrails.com/x3g35s83.jpgThis is where the railroad entered Ware Shoals.

It was then filled and paved.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/a3kn49i8.jpgThis is the location of the grade crossing at Dunn's Creek Rd.

AN ex-Southern Pacific R.P.O. car is coupled along with it (see other picture).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/pwtiq3fl.jpgRails in the parking lot of the Monterey depot are the depot's team track.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/km5yof1n.jpgJust north of the ornate passenger depot is the former ice house (gray building with blue trim), which now serves as a sporting equipment rental company. Tracks passed along left-hand side of building. The freight depot, which was yellow, used to sit where the parking signs are seen in front of the ice house.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8b55jqdr.jpgA lone crossing signal and rails in the pavement mark the spot of one of Cannery Row's most infamous moments. For it was here at the intersections of Wave and Drake Streets that Edward "Doc" Ricketts was struck by the southbound Del Monte Express on May 8th, 1948; he died at a nearby hospital three days later. A pioneer in the field of marine biology, Ricketts was a close personal friend of author John Steinbeck and served as the real-life inspiration behind the character of "Doc" in his novel "Cannery Row." Ricketts' life and legacy are memorialized by the life-sized bronze bust and plaque at left.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8ihbmbn4.jpgTHEN: A rare double-headed lash up leads the northbound Del Monte Express around Lover's Point in Pacific Grove, sometime around 1900. Stunning and wind-swept views of Monterey Bay such as this were common along the southern end of the line as the tracks hugged the coast for the final few miles of their route.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/irux1fk6.jpgNOW: Trees and buildings may change, but the coastline itself is virtually eternal. Today the route of the Del Monte has been turned into a thoroughfare for pedestrians and bicycles, but its serpentine path along the shoreline is still recognizable. Note that the farmhouse seen at far left in the original photo is still with us. Considerably remodeled and expanded today, it serves as the world-famous Seven Gables Bed & Breakfast Inn.https://www.abandonedrails.com/san-ramon-valley-branchmonthly2010-03-06https://photo.abandonedrails.com/nft9drbj.jpgThis circa-1990s bridge spans Ygnacio Valley Road in Walnut Creek at the site of the former SP right-of-way crossing.

The dismantled line curving to the left is the abandoned section that headed southeast through Lynwood and Paramount toward Santa Ana. (There are now houses built on the right of way). The center-right line heads south to Dolores Yard in Carson; and this line is now paralleled by the MTA light rail Blue Line, opened in 1990. The branch to the right (barely in the photo) heads to the Chevron refinery in El Segundo.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/bty3xg9l.jpgThis was the Lynwood station as it looked in November 1983. This section of track/right of way was completely obliterated in the late 1980s/early 1990s when the Century Freeway (I-105) was built on the PE alignment through this part of Lynwood.The MTA Green Line was built in the median of I-105 and opened in 1995. https://photo.abandonedrails.com/p5nc09h5.jpgThis shows the former PE line facing northwest at Garfield Ave. in Paramount, as of May 1996. Note the gates are removed from the crossing signals and flangeways are paved in. The lineside signal was for the UP San Pedro branch crossing, about 1/4-mile behind the camera. By 2003, both the lineside and grade crossing signals were long gone, but there are still rails both west and east of Garfield Ave. The MTA built a white fence across the right of way on both sides of Garfield Ave.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/md7fk33x.jpgFacing southeast at Bellflower Blvd, Bellflower.

Wig-wags were more common then but are rapidly disappearing today (2003). By the time the Paramount-Stanton segment was abandoned they had all been replaced by gates and/or flashers.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/hlkc5voo.jpgThis picture shows a walking path along the former right-of-way, near the intersection of Trask and New Hope in Garden Grove, CA.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/7f6b9i29.jpgThe former Pacific Electric right-of-way at Stanton, facing northwest. The track in the foreground is a short team track/maintenance spur, the only remaining "active rails" on the Santa Ana Branch. The track crossing left-to-right is the UP (ex-SP) line to Los Alamitos; Los Alamitos is toward the left. The junction for Huntington Beach is also to the left out of the picture. In the left background, the concrete foundation is the former location of the PE Stanton station. The people in the picture are some members of the Los Angeles Railroad Heritage Foundation (http://www.larhf.org) which sponsored the tour to this site.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/lx3iw3te.jpgThe former PE Stanton station was moved to Knott's Berry Farm (http://www.knotts.com) in Buena Park, CA, around 1952. It serves as the main "Ghost Town" station for the narrow gauge train that runs in the park. This narrow gauge train uses former Denver & Rio Grande Western Baldwin engines and passenger cars. This equipment was purchased by Walter Knott (park founder) in 1951 and 1952, when D&RGW was dismantling some of its Colorado narrow gauge network. The boxcar at left was also bought at that time. (The park also has a former Rio Grande Southern "Galloping Goose").https://photo.abandonedrails.com/y3qv91au.jpgThe right-of-way at Bellflower as it stands in mid-2008.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/2snyqhas.jpgThe Bellflower station was refurbished to resemble its in-service appearance when the Pacific Electric still ran. The concrete was also stamped with a map of the PE along with a historical narrative. Passenger service lasted until 1958; freight service lasted until the early 1990s, though it is not believed that there were any lineside customers by then.https://www.abandonedrails.com/victoria-to-beevillemonthly2010-03-06https://www.abandonedrails.com/skidmore-to-alicemonthly2010-03-06https://www.abandonedrails.com/falfurrias-to-edinburgmonthly2010-03-06https://www.abandonedrails.com/yuba-city-to-tudormonthly2010-03-06https://www.abandonedrails.com/alia-to-venicemonthly2010-03-06https://www.abandonedrails.com/westwood-to-beverly-hillsmonthly2010-03-06https://www.abandonedrails.com/miami-to-inspirationmonthly2010-03-06https://www.abandonedrails.com/fall-creek-junction-to-fall-creekmonthly2010-03-06https://www.abandonedrails.com/shelburn-to-west-staytonmonthly2010-03-06https://www.abandonedrails.com/quinif-to-rosebudmonthly2010-03-06https://www.abandonedrails.com/winona-to-gerlingermonthly2010-03-06https://www.abandonedrails.com/webling-to-huntington-beachmonthly2010-03-06https://www.abandonedrails.com/winters-branchmonthly2010-03-06https://www.abandonedrails.com/exeter-branchmonthly2010-03-05https://www.abandonedrails.com/jefferson-street-branchmonthly2010-03-05https://www.abandonedrails.com/roy-branchmonthly2010-03-05https://www.abandonedrails.com/fernley-to-flaniganmonthly2010-03-05https://www.abandonedrails.com/santa-monica-branchmonthly2010-03-05https://www.abandonedrails.com/south-san-francisco-branchmonthly2010-03-05https://www.abandonedrails.com/yuba-city-branchmonthly2010-03-05https://www.abandonedrails.com/crump-to-alcaldemonthly2010-03-05https://www.abandonedrails.com/buchli-union-branchmonthly2010-03-05https://www.abandonedrails.com/fluto-branchmonthly2010-03-05https://www.abandonedrails.com/waco-branchmonthly2010-03-05https://www.abandonedrails.com/cameron-branchmonthly2010-03-05https://www.abandonedrails.com/westwood-branchmonthly2010-03-05https://www.abandonedrails.com/stanton-branchmonthly2010-03-05https://www.abandonedrails.com/clovis-branchmonthly2010-03-05https://photo.abandonedrails.com/xa5qdfct.jpgLooking north in Clovis.

The track ends next to the signal; it no longer crosses Burke St. where the semi trailers are parked. The signal is no longer in use; it was for the junction with the La Habra Branch. The rusted metal "X" (crossing) sign in the foreground likely dates back to the Pacific Electric days.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/4k6252s8.jpgThis photo is from November 1984, and shows one of two crossings of Whittier Boulevard. The track might have been out of service by this point. A drugstore and parking lot are now at this location.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/88r8a3uh.jpgThis picture shows the southern crossing with Whittier Boulevard, the same location as in the previous picture, as it stands today (2009).https://www.abandonedrails.com/keeler-branchmonthly2010-03-02https://photo.abandonedrails.com/yb2lnkos.jpgThis view faces north at Laws. The view is from a platform next to SP #9, which is heading a "freight train" on a remnant of track at the Laws station/museum, about 5 miles east of Bishop. SP #18 also survives, on display in the town of Independence further south on US 395.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/j3ueouua.jpgThis bridge is at Fish Springs, between Independence and Big Pine. View faces west. This is part of the relocated right of way near Tinemaha Reservoir.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/h835n4wu.jpgThis view is at Keeler, the "end of the line", facing north. The track ran directly away from the camera, alongside the building in the distance. It is unknown if the loading dock dates back to when the rail line was still here.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/emu3lefh.jpgA marker shows the location of the former Zurich Station along the abandoned Carson & Colorado.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/g82meek3.jpgA close-up of the marker at Zurich Station.https://www.abandonedrails.com/florence-branchmonthly2010-03-02https://photo.abandonedrails.com/nnf34rb5.jpgLittle evidence of this short abandoned route remains today.

Shortly beyond this, the former right-of-way has been obliviated by a parking lot.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/mby88f4l.jpgTHE SOLANO CAR FERRY: These pilings were once part of a railroad pier that served as the terminal point for a railroad ferry that would ferry cars back and forth between Benicia and Port Costa. From Port Costa, trains would continue on to Oakland and San Francisco.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/s5bwpu8a.jpgTHE SOLANO CAR FERRY: On the other side of the Carnquinez Strait from Benicia, is the other port, Port Costa; the pier remnants in the water indicate the location of the former ferry slip.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/4x0gwein.jpgThe world's largest railroad ferry was once a title held by the "Solano (http://cprr.org/museum/solano/)", a Central Pacific ferry that saw service between the piers of Benicia Point and Port Costa in California. It has since been scuttled in 1931 and accidently set afire during a fireworks display in 1983. Today, the once proud Solano sits as a rusted hulk at Antioch, CA, 30 miles upstream from the original ports-of-call it served since 1879.

Sadly, this beautiful building burned to the ground in August of 1929.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/wyi8e6ob.jpgNOW: Today, this non-descript piece of asphalt, part of a strip mall parking lot, occupies the former location of the depot.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/xtbpy4i3.jpgTHEN: Passing through the pastoral landscape of the eastern San Joaquin Valley east of Merced, mogul-type locomotive number 28 leads an eastbound mixed consist between Merced and Snelling.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/lo2ha9sw.jpgNOW: Nearly 80 years have done little to change the landscape here. Open, rolling grasslands still dominate this corner of the world, and the day dawns just as sunny and warm in this photo as it did in the original. The only real difference is that the railroad has long since vanished from the land, leaving only its embankment and a faint trace of ballast through the weeds.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/rksn7ktk.jpgTHEN: An eastbound freight approaches Ellendale Creek Bridge west of Snelling. A tributary to the nearby Merced River, Ellendale Creek was bridged with a simple wooden trestle structure.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/5yfxl76f.jpgNOW: Very little is left here, but a close inspection will reveal the east abutment to still be in place.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/pcge3jk1.jpgTHEN: Westbound train, led by 4-4-0 number 20 boards passengers at the Snelling Depot.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/r739681n.jpgNOW: Today, nothing remains here to mark the railroad's passing. The tracks have been removed, the depot demolished and the right-of-way plowed under by landscapers.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/5lfsc03d.jpgTHEN: Looking east into the yard at Merced Falls. The large, two-story building at right is the Merced Falls depot.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/yqk0okhd.jpgNOW: This mobile home now sits directly atop the former right-of-way.

Named the "Atalanta", it features two observation rooms, four state rooms, two baths, a butler's pantry, kitchen, dining room office, resplendent with elaborate decorations and fixtures. The car was moved to its current location in Jefferson, TX, in 1954.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/irbvijle.jpgThis former railroad bridge can be found on the southeast side of Jefferson, TX, crossing Big Cypress Bayou. The railroad line was relocated and a new bridge was built adjacent to this one (you can see the abutments of the new bridge in the bayou behind the abandoned bridge). The KCS still has regular service to Jefferson on the former Louisiana & Arkansas line.https://www.abandonedrails.com/edinburg-passenger-stationmonthly2009-09-24https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0ywc1bvv.jpgThis Southern Pacific passenger depot in Edinburg, TX, was built in 1927 and opened in August 1 of that year. An example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, with features such as double entries, built-in benches and tile detailing, it saw service up until 1952, when passenger service along the line ceased. Edinburg continued to see freight traffic until 1982. See also the passenger station at nearby McAllen, TX (https://www.abandonedrails.com/mcallen-passenger-station).https://www.abandonedrails.com/mcallen-passenger-stationmonthly2009-09-24https://photo.abandonedrails.com/efowbk2o.jpgThis passenger depot at McAllen, TX, on the border with Mexico, was built in 1927, and served as the passenger station for McAllen until passenger service ceased in 1952. The details of the depot are similar to the one at Edinburg, TX (https://www.abandonedrails.com/edinburg-passenger-station), in that they are reminiscient of the Spanish Colonial Revival Architecture. Between 1952 and 1985, the building housed public agencies such as the city police, jail and municipal court. Today it serves as a law office.https://www.abandonedrails.com/lindsay-to-strathmoremonthly2009-09-22https://photo.abandonedrails.com/vdf60td5.jpgThis picture was taken in Zion next to a new housing development.

It is now used as a pedestrian/bicycle bridge. Most of the railroad bridges that cros Cherry Creek no longer have rails on them, except for one, which is used by Denver's light-rail transit.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1786qs8q.jpgThis tail track extends a bit beyond Denver Union Station to the west, and is used to transfer trains from one track to another. While the end-of-track is visible, the line used to continue around the corner to the left, cross Cherry Creek (in the previous photo), and lead into the Burnham Locomotive Shops.https://www.abandonedrails.com/waterman-spurmonthly2009-09-14https://photo.abandonedrails.com/tedqugos.jpgThe abandoned right-of-way begins at the end of the Waterman Spur, and heads west for a couple of miles before joining up with the new mainline relocation west of Barstow.https://www.abandonedrails.com/mcdaniel-to-ocean-citymonthly2009-09-11https://photo.abandonedrails.com/blxxejmn.jpgThe Royal Oak movable bridge, near Royal Oak, MD. This bridge originally served the Baltimore, Chesapeake & Atlantic Railway. Note the counterweight hanging on the right side of the bridge -- it was made up of old railroad ties.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/r7tb9r8x.jpgThe tracks were removed in 1972, but the bridge remained for a while longer. Today, the bridge is no longer there.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/hlx2np51.jpgThis bridge might make a good candidate for a model railroad.https://www.abandonedrails.com/everett-subdivisionmonthly2009-08-13https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ub62xnvt.jpgTownsend, GA -- Looking south towards Cox and Everett, this is the end of the line for the ex-SAL route. CSX abandoned this section late in 1985. Note the wide right-of-way to accommodate a passing track.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/w9cls6yw.jpgJones, Georgia -- Looking south on the ex-SAL Savannah to Jacksonville mainline. It's the end of the line as CSX rips out the section south of Riceboro. Note poles still intact as well as the short passing track that was located here.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/yf7r97nx.jpgTownsend, GA -- Looking south, all of the ballast has been removed leaving a bare grade. Trucks also hauled away the remaining ties after being removed from the railbed. Later grass was planted, and today it is in open field.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/d7eon57o.jpgTownsend, GA -- Looking south today. This open field was once the right-of-way and passing track of the ex-SAL mainline. The white building in the background was a radio repeater station.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/lxxh0l2h.jpgRiceboro, GA -- The ex-SAL mainline looking north back towards Savannah. The tracks end just under the overpass in the distance. The remaining tracks here serve a paper mill at Riceboro and a few other customers. A passing track existed here at one point as well, where the car is parked.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/5p4oreiu.jpgThe defect detector building, located just south of Riceboro, GA. This view looks back to the north. This was the very first hotbox detector to be installed on the Seaboard in 1960, here at milepost 531.8. In this area, the tracks were removed in 1986, just three years prior to this photo.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/kc9ljthp.jpgTownsend, GA -- Looking north on the ex-SAL mainline towards Savannah. Tracks in this area were taken up in 1986. Wooden trestles like these were common along the line, and were one of the main reasons why the CSX chose to keep the "A" line instead of this line, the "S" line. Many of these abandoned trestles can still be found today.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/wgwyx08v.jpgThis defect detector building, missing its roof, can be found at milepost 548.9 in Cox, GA, on the ex-SAL mainline. Tracks in this area were taken up in 1986. View is looking north towards Townsend and Savannah. Today, this corridor serves local residents as a dirt road.https://www.abandonedrails.com/rochelle-branchmonthly2009-07-20https://www.abandonedrails.com/hastings-to-bunnellmonthly2009-06-15https://www.abandonedrails.com/kanawha-and-pocahontas-railroadmonthly2009-06-03https://photo.abandonedrails.com/9cqew2v2.jpgThis picture shows Burnwell, WV, with the Paint Creek Branch of the K&P clearly in view.

San Fernando Road crosses at the traffic light. These tracks are out of service, and end at the beige building in the distance (Avenue 26), where they used to make a jog to the left (still in Humboldt Street).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/4seh38aw.jpgThis view is on York Boulevard, facing east. The UP track entered this street to access the bridge across the Arroyo Seco Parkway (now Pasadena Freeway), CA Route 110.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/f2qqb621.jpgThis is the third Arroyo Seco bridge as it appeared in July, 1982. The left span was for the former UP; the right span was the then-active Santa Fe line. This is at Grevelia and Fremont facing northeast in South Pasadena. The UP had entered the bridge from street running in Grevelia (pavement patch barely visible).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/j7onsoge.jpgSame bridge as in the previous picture, 21 years later. While the Santa Fe ended service in early 1994 on this route, trains have returned to the UP and Santa Fe routes here -- This is the MTA Gold Line, opened on July 26, 2003. The sign on the center pole states "Caution - Train Testing in Progress".https://photo.abandonedrails.com/lccyoe2d.jpgThis was an interesting find when I first explored this route: an old tell-tale that had outlasted the track by more than ten years. This was in South Pasadena; the still-active Santa Fe was behind the berm at the right.https://www.abandonedrails.com/bodie-and-benton-railroadmonthly2009-05-28https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ab8d2lc7.jpgThis photo shows the monument to the Bodie and Benton RR.

The Central of Georgia line was purchased by the Southern Railway in the 1960s and abandoned in the last 1980s by Norfolk Southern; the Atlanta and Florida line was purchased by the Southern Railway around 1900 and was abandoned in 1939.https://www.abandonedrails.com/winnipeg-manitobamonthly2009-04-16https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ncoqd19g.jpgRails are barely visible, but they are there. There are segments of two abandoned spurs. The one on the left seems to have originated from the one on the right. This is at the end of Rue DesChambault in Winnipeg. The view is looking north. The line on the right itself used to orginate from the line seen in the right corner (CPR's Sprague Line). This spur line served a few industrial firms and was no longer than about 1 kilometer.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/wks9970j.jpgLooking south. The ROW used to run through the open space seen at the far end of this photo. The rails can be made out close to the center of the photograph.

This bridge sees a short train about once a day.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0bdg4yoh.jpgIn this distance is the Dallas Cowboys' new stadium, set to open for the 2009 NFL season. Arlington is known as the largest city in the U.S. with no public transportation. The opening of the new stadium, along with the Texas Rangers Ballpark, Six Flags Over Texas, and other various attractions within a short distance of each other, has prompted local officials to consider opening a commuter or light-rail line to serve this area. If so, the former GSWRR may be a potential candidate.https://www.abandonedrails.com/bayview-californiamonthly2009-03-06https://photo.abandonedrails.com/skfh01vn.jpgThe Southern Pacific once operated no less than 23 short industrial spurs in a small corner of San Francisco called Bayview. Today, only one spur remains, though unused -- street-trackage in Egbert Avenue. One can still see the ghosts of the former spurs if only by observing the shapes and countours of nearby building afforded by satellite imagery.https://www.abandonedrails.com/riceboro-to-kingslandmonthly2009-03-06https://photo.abandonedrails.com/2kl6hm5g.jpgOld wooden SAL bridge near Townsend, GA.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/j65wi8o1.jpgThe SAL bridge at Altamaha Park, GA, built in 1940; the rotating platform was built in 1950.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/oosy0tt8.jpgAnother picture of the SAL Altamaha Bridge at Altamaha Park, GA.

UP 6051, a steam locomotive on display (seen in the next two photos), can barely been seen in the distance.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/xltggd5n.jpgUP 6051, a Baldwin 2-8-0 (Class C-2) donated by the Union Pacific, is on display in Fairmont Park, West Riverside. Unfortunately, it is in sad shape.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/w3vhjakq.jpgThe tender for UP 6051. Note the lettering for the original Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad on the back.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/09kf918d.jpgThis is where the other SP branch crossed the BNSF Transcon at-grade. This branch was once a remnant of the Pacific Electric before SP's ownership of it. The line curved along the edge of the building on the left, and connected to the UP (SP) line seen in the background.https://www.abandonedrails.com/hepzibah-to-midvillemonthly2009-01-14https://photo.abandonedrails.com/3a1v1p6e.jpgLooking South near Midville.

This section was built by the Augusta Southern in 1905 to avoid repairs to a bridge over Brier Creek. This spur was abandoned in the 1930s. The G & F main was abandoned in the 1980s.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/mxk7hn8m.jpgA satellite photo of the same area shown in the USGS map above. This is a 1930 abandonment, but still clearly visible from overhead.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/mygxj9dv.jpgA tracing done by Julian Finley in order to find the 1905 abandonment of the old Augusta Southern over Brier Creek southeast of Keysville.

On the east side of Whiteville, looking east, the railroad line has been abandoned from here to Malmo, just west of Wilmington. The line is operated to this point by the Carolina Southern Railroad.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ufdosn2d.jpgTHE MACO LIGHT: This is the view now in Maco looking west along the abandoned ROW at NC Highway 87. The Maco station was apparently close to this location, and the area of the "Maco Light" was a little bit further west.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/wftrfy5r.jpgTHE MACO LIGHT: Looking the other direction (east) along NC Highway 87 at Maco, NC. Wilmington is another 15 to 20 miles away across the Cape Fear River. This section of railroad was abandoned in 1977. It is still apparent where the pavement was cut to remove the rails.https://www.abandonedrails.com/west-bend-to-fond-du-lacmonthly2009-01-10https://photo.abandonedrails.com/c9ucca7p.jpgLooking north from Scott Street towards the CNW yards in Fond du Lac, WI.

This is the site of the Brandon Ave. grade crossing east of downtown, less than a mile from the wye that was at the end of the branch.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/dr78gn15.jpgLooking south, this whistle post was located just north of the Alturas Street crossing. Right-of-way is the gravel path to the left of post. Track curved slightly to left behind Eucalyptus trees and passed between the trees and the building in the distance after crossing Alturas and Ammunition Road. Aviation Road is on the berm to the right of the whistle post.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/b5fihwdi.jpgThis is Fallbrook Junction, as seen from a northbound Amtrak San Diegan. The Santa Fe stored excess freight cars on this south wye of the branch for several months. The freeway pillars in the foreground are for the southbound lanes of I-5; the northbound lanes are in the background.

Judging by its condition, it's a safe bet that this is that bridge.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1w0cpt07.jpgLooking across the condemned bridge. Road construction on US 41 accounts for the vehicle and large mound in the distance near the highway crossing.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/uymygkfc.jpgThe right-of-way looking south from the overpass. It curves to the southeast, huging the bank of the waterway for another mile and a half or so before it comes to a pre-cast concrete facility and the former location of a wye.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/pjpesmx8.jpgThis is looking east across US 41. The wye would be in the background. Looking at satellite pics, the ROW is discernible for another quarter-mile before it disappears. New housing development have erased the remains beyond there. The wye was most likely used for turning locomotives since the track did not continue south of Venice.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/u6inrd7x.jpgLooking north. The pre-cast plant uses the old ROW of the main and the wye for stacking culverts. The subtle curve in the line of culverts is part of the south leg of the wye. The building to the left behind the stack is a lumber distributor that also saw rail service long ago.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/tgbohfmb.jpgThis is the south view from the same location as the previous picture. The ROW is visible in satellite imagery as it crosses the highway and passes behind two shopping centers before it disappears.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/kpo375tq.jpgLooking closely, the ties are still in place and still equipped with tie plates.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/9k9vu1iw.jpgThis is looking west across US 41 at the wye.

This area offered transfers between ferries from San Francisco and passenger trains to Petaluma on the P&H. In the mid 1800s, this short-lived railroad line used both steam locomotives and mule-drawn carriages to move passengers between its namesake towns.https://www.abandonedrails.com/susquehanna-connecting-railroadmonthly2008-12-18https://www.abandonedrails.com/frankfort-and-cincinnati-railroadmonthly2008-12-10https://photo.abandonedrails.com/aq0wa2lx.jpgAbandoned distillery on "The Whiskey Route" in the town of Stamping Grounds, KY.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/72nylu3e.jpgThe clear area on the right side of this photo is where the rail spur came into the back of the distillery.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/51ek7jav.jpgRailroad ties and ballast are evidence of where the rail spur used to pick up whiskey in Stamping Grounds, KY.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/p42l6vbp.jpgThe name for Stamping Grounds, KY, presumably originates from the fact that buffalo used to graze in this area before it was civilized.https://www.abandonedrails.com/owensboro-to-moormanmonthly2008-12-04https://photo.abandonedrails.com/o1t1ndbd.jpghttps://photo.abandonedrails.com/dthvnry7.jpghttps://photo.abandonedrails.com/0a7tw2ct.jpgThis restored L&N caboose sits in a park in Livermore, KY, and pays tribute to the former line.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/u4rojpwi.jpghttps://photo.abandonedrails.com/0kb5rb70.jpghttps://photo.abandonedrails.com/6n9mix17.jpgThe rotating bridge over the Green River at Livermore can be seen in the distance.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/vk8tas9l.jpghttps://photo.abandonedrails.com/ny6jlmtm.jpgThe rotating bridge across the Green River at Livermore.

The tracks visible are the of the former B&O, and are still used. The abandoned PRR line ran just past the white house. If you look closely enough you can see the crossing post just to the right of the house.https://www.abandonedrails.com/bomber-spurmonthly2008-11-14https://photo.abandonedrails.com/auf9clxh.jpgThe beginning of the Bomber Spur at MP 252.8 along the UP's Baird Subdivision. The dwarf switch stand still remains among the weeds. UP's Centennial Yard lies just a mile to the east (or to the left in the picture).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ljjkwohe.jpgA lone gondola stands on the short amount of usable track on the spur, helping to mark its location in the overgrowth.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/m2vhiihj.jpgThe Bomber Spur itself is the foremost track. If you look closely enough, you can tell that the its tracks are not as maintained as the mainline and the siding behind them.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/3h6gzktp.jpgThe first road crossing for the Bomber Spur occurs at Vickery Boulevard, just after it splits from the Baird Sub. The crossing control box is clearly visible, with a milepost marking of 0.20.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/imc1xxpo.jpgThe crossing at Vickery Blvd.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/qfcjhgfx.jpgAfter crossing Vickery Blvd, the tracks meander off into the woods, beginning its 5.72 mile journey.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/l9mlmkvr.jpgHere we are looking to the south as the tracks cross Texas State Highway 183. An oddity about this crossing is that this stretch of SH 183 used to be Interstate Highway 820 (before IH 820 was relocated to the south). Thus, these railroad tracks actually crossed an Interstate Highway at grade.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/cu5lfggq.jpgLooking to the north across SH 183. Even today, traffic is pretty steady on this 6-lane highway. There must have been a lot of congestion anytime a train tied up the crossing.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ossqcove.jpgThe concrete pedestals used for the crossbucks gaurding the SH 183 crossing. This is viewing the northern lanes.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/mwpv6gb5.jpgAfter the brief contact with civilization and crossing SH 183, the Bomber Spur continues it journey through the woods. The right-of-way proper roams through a large neighborhood just beyond the photograph; trees separate the tracks from the houses and roads.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/qgtpwys6.jpgThe Bomber Spur flies over US Highway 377. This picture was taken looking southeast.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ak6dasi1.jpgThe tracks emerge from the woods and neighborhood at Texas State Spur 550 (just behind the photographer).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/5kb5uycw.jpgThe right-of-way crosses SS 580. Its journey through quiet neighborhoods has come to an end.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/chxpkzku.jpgA lone crossbuck pedestal and some cracks in the concrete are the only evidence that a railroad once crossed here.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/i0uxlgtp.jpgThe bridge over Interstate Highway 30. By this time, the railroad has crossed an urban road, a state highway, a state spur, a US Highway, and an Interstate. Not bad for a 5-mile railroad spur.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ymgrhi3s.jpgThe ballast on the bridge still remains. It looks like there was a slight curve to the tracks as it crossed over. This overhead viaduct is indicated in the track schematic at MP 2.70.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/eopk56ar.jpgAfter crossing IH 30, the tracks then crossed the IH 30 frontage road. I imagine that the trains had to be short or quick enough so as to not back traffic up onto IH 30 proper. Just ahead of the bridge, the raised ROW is still visible; the embedded rails in the foreground also.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/dwdf03ka.jpgTurning around from the last shot, we can see where the tracks used to go. The raised ground curves off to the right, and goes by the utility box in the background before traversing an old wooden bridge across Kings Branch creek. Ridgmar Mall is outside the picture to the right.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/yataxjen.jpgA railroad utility box still stands by itself by the old ROW. Another one stands closer to Carswell JRB, as we'll see later.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/hk58hjfs.jpgA close-up of the lock shows who owns this abandoned equipment.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ddavippb.jpgLooking back where we came from, the tracks approached the utility box on the left side such that the box faces the ROW. The wooden bridge mentioned earlier is behind the photographer. (The IH 30 overpass is just behind the tree in the background to the left.)https://photo.abandonedrails.com/psko3dpu.jpgSame orientation as the last picture, but now the photographer has moved to the other side of the bridge across Kings Branch creek. The trees lend to the natural beauty of the scene; if it wasn't for the sounds of the traffic from the right and Ridgmar Mall to the left, this would have been a very serene setting.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/a5iforuu.jpgA profile shot of the wooden bridge. Just imagine a tank train rumbling across it (without the mall in the background, of course). The track schematic shows this bridge to be at MP 2.98 and 59 feet long.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/i13j1r9s.jpgJust beyond the first bridging of Kings Branch creek is this important point in the journey of the Bomber Spur, as this is where the Carswell spur (on the right) splits off from the GD spur (on the left). This picture was taken where the switch points would have been.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/hjblsnq8.jpgFirst, we'll follow the General Dynamics (GD) spur to the northwest. After the Carswell spur splits off, the GD spur crosses the second branch of Kings Branch creek.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/bhbuogk3.jpgA profile shot of the GD spur bridge over Kings Branch creek. The track schematic denotes this bridge at MP 3.17 and to be 59' long.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/u9wcqydb.jpgGoing further down the spur and turning around, we have this shot looking back over the Kings Branch creek bridge. In the background is an entrance to Ridgmar Mall which passes over the ROW. The tracks have been removed and paved over.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ifdgm5aw.jpgTurning around back to the northwest, we see where the spur crossed SH 183 (for a second time). The tracks headed right through the middle of this intersection. This traffic light controls another entrance to Ridgmar Mall, which passes over the Carswell side of the spur (which we'll see later).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/jq6jbt2m.jpgAfter crossing SH 183, the tracks follow the boundaries of Carswell closely as it passes along the south and southwest side of the base. The tracks through here were not easily accessible. The tracks then turn northward and run between the base and SS 341 for a bit before they turn northwestward again and cross SS 341 as seen here. The base is in the background with the barbed-wire fence.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/eat7gp5r.jpgA closeup of the tracks as they cross the median between the main lanes of SS 341.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/g0oquwrh.jpgLooking back over SS 341 as the tracks crossed both the main lanes and the frontage road (in the foreground). You can see a slight curve to the right on the other side of the highway.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/6pbdaal5.jpgAfter crossing SS 341, the tracks crossed some more urban roads before reaching its destination. This is looking back across Wyatt Drive. The former grade crossing is evident.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/webxarqq.jpgLooking northwestward from Wyatt Drive.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/7jxguvui.jpgThis photo is looking northwestward from White Settlement Road. The former grade crossing here was not as evident as the other grade crossings have been.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/zlpmgi1m.jpgHere the tracks (still in place, you'll notice) cross Harwell Street. After this, the tracks cross Clifford Street before entering the Lockheed Martin plant. I refrained from taking pictures in the direction of the plant or of the entrance of the tracks to the plant due to heightened security regarding such practices. Once inside the complex, the tracks split and criss-cross numerous times as they lead to and serve their respective warehouses and other areas of the complex. The layout of the tracks within the plant is still visible both on Google Maps and the track schematic. This ends the tour of the GD spur. Let's continue on to the Carswell spur.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ynccqnc3.jpgShortly after splitting fom the main part of the spur, the Carswell spur crosses its own wooden bridge over Kings Branch creek. The ROW curves off to the northeast (to the right) after the bridge.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ooz1e7ho.jpgA profile view of the Carswell spur bridge over Kings Branch creek. The track schematic shows this bridge to be at MP 3.17, same as the bridge on the GD spur, and slightly longer at 72 feet.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ywibybmz.jpgAfter crossing the bridge, the tracks crossed a second entrance to Ridgmar Mall, where this picture was taken looking back over the bridge.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ujcojone.jpgTurning around, we see the where the grade crossing was for the second entrance, and that the ROW continues to the northeast, following SH 183 on its left.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/cnyleezj.jpgHere is the crossing with Ridgmar Meadow Road. SH 183 is on the right.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/xtr6vs3s.jpgLooking up the spur from Ridgmar Meadow Road. The wide open corridor between the highway and the retail/restaurant parking indicates that a railroad once ran through here.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/tzmjypmm.jpgAnother railroad utility box; this one is located just outside the entrance to Carswell. The right-of-way between here and just outside the last picture at Ridgmar Meadow Road has been all but obliterated. The ROW is not visible once it enters Carswell, but a layout of the tracks within is afforded by Google Maps and the track chart.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1cgxamjy.jpgAgain, I did not want to raise concern in the friendly gate gaurds at Carswell as to why I was taking pictures around the base, so I refrained from such. From here, the tracks continue onto Carswell grounds. This closeup shot of the utility box ends our tour of the Bomber Spur.https://www.abandonedrails.com/danville-secondarymonthly2008-11-13https://photo.abandonedrails.com/776p4hdq.jpgThis sign found on the right-of-way indicates that the property is owned by Pennsylvania Lines, LLC, a subsidiary of Norfolk Southern.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/esharkql.jpgThis abandoned interlocking tower once protected the crossing of the Danville Secondary with the NYC&StL at Handy, IN.

The concrete at front extending away is platform 4 (of 4 platforms). The KCS main that served the station is situated just in front of the trees in the background.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/c9dwjsee.jpgHere is platform 3. (Since I have no records indicating platform numbers, I've numbered them 1 through 4, with platform 1 being closest to the KCS main line to the right.)https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0xmf4aah.jpgLooking down platform 2. The Common Street bridge is the overpass you see.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ajlvswlm.jpgAt the northeast corner of the station, we have these decorative green and white tiles, located in what was the women's restroom.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/3ct4ehql.jpgLooking back over the station footprint from the northeast corner.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/he4gvbyj.jpgThe remains of the stairs as they lead up to track level. These stairs are on the east-facing side of the northeast corner. The green tiles are located behind and further back from these stairs.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/9pvlw05l.jpgLooking down the front of the knoll. The other set of stairs at the front of the station can be seen in the distance. The Jefferson Hotel is just across the street.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/sjoos8dl.jpgJust across the way from the north-facing side of the station is what was known as the KCS Cafe, now long abandoned. This view is from the front of the Jefferson Hotel. The front door is on the right side of the building, while the station itself is off the picture to the left. The KCS tracks pass closely behind the building.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/g0aznhnk.jpgThis picture was taken alongside the Cafe, showing how close the KCS tracks come to the restaurant.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ixezgpvx.jpgAt the entrance of the KCS Cafe is the "ABLON'S". I am not sure the origin of this name; perhaps this was the name of the restaurant after the KCS Cafe closed down.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/7hdrbss3.jpgThis is looking southeast from the north-facing side of the station (the KCS Cafe is behind me).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/g27xojuj.jpgAs we work are way around the perimeter of the station, we can see the recessed areas where the dual tracks used to lay. There were no remains of tracks or related hardware anywhere, save for a two locations, as we'll see later.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/webrayvd.jpgHere we are at what looks like to be a "grand stair" of sorts, due to their width relative to the other stairs around the corner of the knoll (seen earlier). These stairs are also visible on the historical pictures of the station.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/56j7oy9x.jpgHere are the brown tiles at the double-door entry way at the front of the station. The Jefferson Hotel is across the street to the right.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/htc2c7pi.jpgHere you can see the hinge anchors for the two front doors.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/tmglpx2s.jpgLooking down the front of the knoll, with the brown tiles in the foreground on the left, and the KCS Cafe in the background. Again, the Jefferson Hotel is across the street on the right.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/2krvtksh.jpgHere is a concrete pad located at the southeast corner of the station.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/sgfxoies.jpgA telephoto shot looking down platform 3 from the station proper.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/xijce9rj.jpgHere is some remaining track hardware, located between platforms 3 and 4. I'm not sure what something like this was used for, based on its shape.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1ax2d8gq.jpgSome tracks still exist at the station. Here are some that run on a line closest to the KCS main, and were possibly covered by the station. Jefferson Hotel is visible in the background.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/gimqbogt.jpgHere is the edge of platform 1. The station would have been at the end of the tracks in the background.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ubem78ga.jpgBetween platforms 2 and 3. The bridge overhead is Common Street.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8wamddxv.jpgBetween platforms 3 and 4.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/xd12kqg4.jpgNow looking down on the platforms from the Common Street bridge. From left to right are platforms 4, 3, 2 and 1. The KCS main is in the background.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1vlfv4mo.jpgNow looking to the northwest, platforms 1, 2 and 3 are visible.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/pq6ylkis.jpgLooking down on the embedded tracks. It looks like the station itself covered those tracks. They were probably used for Railway Express freight terminal and dock.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/jntfxsdc.jpgLooking down over platforms 3 and 4. The furthest track to the right was not as long as the others at the station, which is why the platform itself moves closer to the platform next to it as it gets closer to the station.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/kqrxneyu.jpgBack at "track level", we see more tracks at the station, toward the end of platform 4. It looks like this may have been part of a pedestrian crossing across the station tracks.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/tzkblzd3.jpgPassenger trains once traveled these rails; now the silence tells a story of great passenger trains now gone. This brings the photographic tour of Shreveport Union Station to an end.https://www.abandonedrails.com/eureka-to-crannellmonthly2008-11-11https://photo.abandonedrails.com/j8fqevyh.jpgThe Eel River and Eureka Railroad was built in 1884 to grant passage between Humboldt Bay and lumber mills along the Eel River in California.

The building barely visible among the overgrowth was the station itself; at the time of use, it had glass sides and a wooden sign, which has since deteriorated.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/m9sli03q.jpgAccording to locals, there was a small turntable at this location near the "Daywalt" station stop.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/v8a3v3vl.jpgThe abandoned P&SR right-of-way approaches Two Rock, CA, from the east.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/61j3lhdi.jpgThe faint remnants of the raised railbed is visible east of Two Rock, CA.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ssvjmhr5.jpgBased on its location adjacent to the abandoned right-of-way, its shape, and its loading dock, it is believed that this building was the P&SR passenger station in Two Rock, CA.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/g4633ydq.jpgThis area was also the location of a small stop near Hessel. The white building is a former volunteer fire department. Before it was built in 1950, there was a tiny station with a platform "big enough for 5 people" according to a local who lives in a former store across the street. The old telegraph pole is all that is left.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/01b0ecx9.jpgThese tracks lay just outside a woodshop, that was originally a apple cannery, then a pencil factory.https://www.abandonedrails.com/bath-and-hammondsport-railroadmonthly2008-11-10https://photo.abandonedrails.com/pm42b1yy.jpgThe B&H passenger depot at Hammondsport, NY.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/a8w57nfn.jpgThe B&H engine house at Hammondsport, NY.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/t69h46it.jpgThe out-of-service B&H right-of-way crosses Main Street (NY Route 59A) in Hammondsport, NY.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/b6a5m34m.jpgThis caboose is found on a property devoted to aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss, about one-half mile southwest of Hammondsport, NY.https://www.abandonedrails.com/jamestown-westfield-and-northwestern-railroadmonthly2008-11-10https://photo.abandonedrails.com/12xphasm.jpgEvidence of the Jamestown, Westfield & Northwestern in Jamestown, NY.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/3pv9w9yl.jpgThe line continues to a scrap dealer just north of Jamestown, NY.https://www.abandonedrails.com/placerville-branchmonthly2008-11-08https://photo.abandonedrails.com/jxy0nt0g.jpgThe remnants of the wye that connected the Placerville Branch to the Folsom Branch.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/w3vddk88.jpgA grade crossing near Shingle Springs.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/92p4uqrx.jpgMilepost 137 near Shingle Springs.https://www.abandonedrails.com/leavittsburg-to-mantuamonthly2008-11-07https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ahua2sj5.jpgHalf of a bridge over OH 82 in Garretsville.

The rest of the trackage that ran along Eugene's streets has either been pulled up or paved over, although in the past there have been sections that have been paved over but have been chipped away, exposing the rails, due to weather and stress. This is looking north at the intersection of 22nd and Columbia.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/hkkg2si9.jpgLooking south along Columbia.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/x5o7y0d8.jpgLooking west at the corner of Grant and 5th, this is the "end of the line" for the section of the former OE track still in use. A piece of the old line is still preserved in the pavement. Directly behind this photo the track to the right comes to an end alongside a local warehouse. The Portland & Western, a subsidiary of the Genesee & Wyoming Inc. now operates the line.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/nf169rq9.jpgDown the next block going east, looking westward, a remnant of what appears to be a spur or siding can still be seen next to this business.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/39wnuqgb.jpgAt the same location looking eastward, the ROW went between the street (5th Street) and the fence.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/vxu6j613.jpgJust a few feet to the east, if you look closely at the street, you can see cuts in the pavement where the ROW began to move into the center of the street.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/snt3ousw.jpgAgain, a few feet to the east, looking east, you can see where the ROW ran down the middle of 5th, heading to the former OE passenger station (which is now the Oregon Electric Station, a restaurant). The line originally ended close to the intersection of 5th and High but the visible remains of the old ROW that you see here end beginning at the intersection of 5th and Blair as newer pavement has been laid on that particular section.https://www.abandonedrails.com/klamath-falls-to-blymonthly2008-09-20https://photo.abandonedrails.com/4iuc3dxv.jpgRight-of-way as seen from OR Route 140, facing west to Moyina.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/xm5qp2w5.jpgRight of way near Merritt Creek trestle.https://www.abandonedrails.com/boise-junction-to-centervillemonthly2008-09-06https://photo.abandonedrails.com/9pwsvgxb.jpgLooking east along the Boise River to the east of Boise, the former ROW has been converted into a paved trail for some distance towards Lucky Peak Lake.

Later that night a barge that had broken loose upstream crashed into the bridge, destroying two bents and damaging two others." Waverly Bridge and this section of the CAGY between Columbus and West Point was abandoned soon after.https://www.abandonedrails.com/gadsden-to-coosamonthly2008-08-16https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1lml2jho.jpgLooking east at the end of Railroad Street in Cedar Bluff, AL. Not much evidence of the former line remains in Cedar Bluff, but evidence of the ROW can be found in the surrounding area. The branch to Gaylesville diverged just east of Cedar Bluff. This is also the area where General Streight's raiders were captured by a smaller number of Confederate cavalry under the command of General Nathan Bedford Forrest (of course this was several years before the railroad was built).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/3sk79ule.jpgCedar Bluff, Alabama, showing the location of the former Southern line through town (black line).

Two more blocks (barely visible) lie in the trees behind the road, and many more can be seen in winter. It is not known how or where the railroad crossed the gorge prior to 1911.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/781ms33y.jpgTop of the gorge, about 100 feet above and a few hundred feet southeast of the previous photo. These concrete piers, both about 6 feet tall, formed the southern terminus of the trestle.

Here it seems the bike path was built off to the side of the tracks. Many crossties, like that near the bottom of the photo, were found at this site, still half-buried in overgrown ballast. In this area it appears that the rails were taken up but everything else left down. In fact, if you look closely, you can still see the outline of the tracks--rails, ties and all--in the grass (or is it an optical illusion?).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/f3r6169c.jpgShady section of ROW in Summit County, near OH 303.

This portion of the line was the most recently used as there was a coal mine that CSX still served at Wolf Summit (it diverged from the main line to the north). After the coal mine shut down in the 1990s, CSX no longer needed the short section of main line and removed it in 1999. The right-of-way in this scene looks basically as it did when the rails were first taken up. While still under CSX ownership, this final remnant will sadly be transferred over to the state of West Virginia.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/rqtk1my7.jpgThis picture shows Walker, WV, on the B&O mainline in the 1930s, and was taken by an employee of that railroad. Photo contributed by Dave Shingleton.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/yl77ufov.jpgThis photo is looking east along the last remaining portion of the Branch still intact (extends a few miles east of Parkersburg), which CSX uses to store center-flow hoppers. Although this portion is not technically "abandoned" ROW, one can say in all actuality that it is abandoned given it's once grand stature. https://photo.abandonedrails.com/pqd6p0xi.jpgThe remnants of a CPL, looking east, about a mile east of the end stub at Parkersburg.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/n6x28gsu.jpgThis photo is at a location known as Davisville, about ten miles or so east of Parkersburg. It depicts the remnants of two CPLs (the eastbound CPL may not be visible but is to the left in the brush) with their numberboards.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/mr39sma9.jpgThis photo depicts the Seaboard-style CPL (after CSX modifications, was a B&O style) at the once junction of the Short Line Railroad (which you see heading off to the right) and mainline in Clarksburg. Heading off to the left and around the bend is where the mainline's abandonment begins. After the main was abandoned, coal movements and other freight heading to the Ohio River uses, ironically, this line which basically was used as a relief valve I believe for the mainline.https://www.abandonedrails.com/phalanx-station-to-minervamonthly2008-08-04https://photo.abandonedrails.com/9n7bqxt9.jpgThe building on the right appears to be the old Diamond station (which might have once been called Palmyra Station, since it is in Palmyra Township). It is likely that there were two tracks, one on either side of the building, for northbound and southbound trains. A few hundred feet behind the picture, Interstate 76 has a bridge over the right of way, indicating that this part of the railroad was still present (if not in use) until the late 1960s at least.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/5t63wkdw.jpgLooking north on the right of way at Windham Road near Braceville.https://www.abandonedrails.com/rockwood-to-denmarkmonthly2008-08-04https://photo.abandonedrails.com/k5uiajq4.jpgIn Rockwood, at Rockwood Road, where the active line ends.

Today, this is the back side of the New England Barricade Company.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/a3dnvdjg.jpgBridge located in the woods built under both branches of the spur and the mainline.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/p8wu2o25.jpgFront view of the former Newmarket Freight Station, today the New England Barricade Company, taken from Railroad Street.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/5jsd4den.jpgEnd of the westernmost branch of the spur in front of the New England Barricade Company building. The rails continue southward into the right side of the photograph.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/6os11cra.jpgAnother view of the westernmost branch of the spur in the woods in front of the New England Barricade Company building. Just southeast of here off the right-hand side of the picture, the rails run along the edge of several residential backyards for houses along Railroad Street and are difficult to trace until they approach the easternmost branch again in the woods just past the houses, as shown in previous photographs.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/dif27bq3.jpgAn old granite pillar marked "254" has been replaced with a metal sign along the mainline just south of Exeter Road (Route 108).https://www.abandonedrails.com/belton-to-mccormickmonthly2008-07-26https://photo.abandonedrails.com/46jvdto8.jpgNorthwest of Bordeaux, this trestle on the former Charleston & Western Carolina branch to Anderson was built on top of a culvert. Apparently the grade of the railroad was raised when the lake (Clarks Hill, now Strom Thurmond Lake) was impounded. Thanks to the drought, this was visible recently!https://photo.abandonedrails.com/yd2k1o2o.jpgTop of the trestle shown above.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/of25q9g8.jpgNice find! No need to blow the whistle now. From southeast of Bordeaux.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ml6wy632.jpgROW at Hester just south of Calhoun Falls. Note the rail on the right side.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/vkn1w9j3.jpgConcrete whistle post just outside of Calhoun Falls looking north.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/33d0eg61.jpgThe old C&WC/ACL station in Calhoun Falls. The Railway Express Agency sign is still in place on this building that was built in 1905. The front half of this building has been restored. The CSX/SAL main line is behind the building.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/2g6xrigp.jpgThe CSX main-line through Calhoun Falls (ex-SAL) with the old C&WC visible to the right (dark building). This is the back side of the building in the picture to the left. The grade of the CSX line has apparently been raised significantly over the years - this was a grade-level diamond where the two lines crossed.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/kuj8fuwx.jpgClose-up of the building above...showing the REA sign.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/91kvo8s1.jpgThis is an aerial photograph of the area in the picture at the top of the page. The photograph was taken from the highway bridge looking towards the former ROW. There was actually water in the lake when the aerial photo was taken!https://photo.abandonedrails.com/23sus3m7.jpgAnother example of the detective work done by the photographer. It seems that the C&WC through Calhoun Falls was moved at some point, away from the depot in the pictures above. The depot is located near where the old ROW crosses the CSX/SAL main. See the drawing below for clarification.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/wsog11qc.jpghttps://photo.abandonedrails.com/xbtxfwej.jpgThe Calhoun Falls CWC depot in an earlier view. The depot as it currently looks is seen above in the left-hand column.https://www.abandonedrails.com/south-carolina-railroad-and-canal-companymonthly2008-07-23https://photo.abandonedrails.com/q3u5t3ib.jpgThe old "Charleston & Hamburg Railroad" station in Hamburg, SC, near Aiken.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/xb9i1d63.jpgThe World's Oldest Junction - Now Just A Bend. The historic Branchville station, restored after a recent fire, lay in the "V" formed where the line from Charleston split into the older branch to Aiken and Hamburg on the left, and toward Orangeburg and Columbia to the right. The disconnected tracks support the surplus caboose on display.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/4g1aqhmq.jpgRails disappear into the tall grass at the edge of downtown Branchville across the street from the west side of the station.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/jiwxtj6i.jpgHere is part of the railbed just beyond the former site of the Blackville station and the diamond where the Southern Cayce-Hardeeville line once crossed. We are looking west toward Aiken from the edge of Blackville.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/7r25i4k5.jpgWhere the line once crossed Denmark's main north-south drag and US Hwy 321, a commemorative sign was erected. The north-south Columbia-Savannah CSX line (formerly SAL, formerly Fla Central & Peninsular) it once crossed can be glimpsed in the background.https://www.abandonedrails.com/ithaca-to-genevamonthly2008-07-22https://photo.abandonedrails.com/dxdowah5.jpgLooking northwest at the Lehigh Valley passenger station in Ithaca, NY. The passenger cars can be seen to the left. From the 1970s until the 1990s, this station and the passenger cars served as a restaurant called "The Station Restaurant". Today, the station is now a bank, the Chemung Canal Trust Company.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/vuv52hwf.jpgA closer look at the main entrance of the old train station, which still reads "Lehigh Valley" above the doors.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/169cw2t0.jpgThe passenger station hosts several passenger cars and a caboose. The station is located near the intersection of Route 96 (West Buffalo Street) and Route 89 (Taughannock Boulevard) in Ithaca, NY.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/891vd1wq.jpgA closer inspection of the engine and passenger cars.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/tpkyouix.jpgThe dark passenger car still reads "L.V. 946", and is labeled with the words "The Black Diamond". The Black Diamond Express was the famous premier Lehigh Valley passenger train that ran from New York City to Buffalo, NY from 1896 to 1959. It is suspected that these cars and the numbers have been repainted since this Lehigh Valley line was abandoned decades ago.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/jqw7g1ec.jpgA close-up look at the engine. The engine and cars have been parked at this location since at least 1976, although they may have been here longer than that.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8cmc1e9q.jpgA look at the caboose and rear side of the station, facing south.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/o4i7huac.jpgAbout a dozen yards or a bit more to the south of the Ithaca station, an old Lehigh Valley Railroad bridge remains alongside Brindley Street (off of Route 79 or West State Street) over a creek extending southeastward off of Cayuga Lake Inlet. Aside from the rails located directly underneath these cars and a still-active former Lehigh Valley line just one block to the east, most of the other tracks in the area were pulled up during the 1970s or 1980s.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/p3cl4o9c.jpgA great view across the bridge, facing northward. All of the tracks and railroad ties have long since been removed, leaving only the metal bridge structure itself. The creek is visible through the bottom of the bridge.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/i1r1dc2c.jpgA look at the north end of the bridge. Several old railroad ties also remain in the brush at this end.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/s5pc86v4.jpgView standing near the north end of the bridge, looking north toward the old Ithaca station. The old Lehigh Valley engine and passenger cars at the station can be seen beyond the stop sign. The Lehigh Valley tracks used to continue through to the bridge roughly where the cars are parked in the right-hand part of the photo. Today, the parking area is for a Goodyear Tire service garage. The brick building on the far left side of the photo belongs to Ithaca Grain and Pet Supply. It is not known whether or not the building is still in use, but there are several buildings in the area of the same era that may have once belonged to industries that utilized the Lehigh Valley line.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/h6ich7t0.jpgView looking south on Brindley Street. The old railroad bridge is visible just to the left of the one lane bridge over the creek. Two telegraph poles also remain. A few old wires hang from the pole on the nearside of the creek. Very little evidence of the old Lehigh Valley Railroad remain to the north or south of this bridge and the Ithaca station, probably due in part to a great deal of development and construction that has taken place between 2000 and 2006, although the line has been abandoned and the tracks and equipment removed so long ago.https://www.abandonedrails.com/lakeside-and-marblehead-railroadmonthly2008-07-18https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0qqmn1du.jpgLooking north, the former grade crossing of the Lakeside and Marblehead on a county road, about halfway between Danbury and Marblehead. Though hard to discern, the railbed can be made out.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/t5vcqn2b.jpgSame location as previous photo, looking east. The now-wooded and overgrown ROW continues to Marblehead.https://www.abandonedrails.com/wateree-to-kings-creekmonthly2008-07-16https://photo.abandonedrails.com/vf66grjn.jpgThis line was originally built before 1870 as the Camden Branch of the Wilmington & Manchester Railroad. It then became part of the Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta, then came under the control of Southern by 1900 or so.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/c6xyriud.jpgThe former location of the NS diamond with CSX at Foxville, about 2 miles west of Wedgefield and 30 miles east of Columbia. There also used to be a connecting track between the two lines (in the upper righthand corner of the picture) that was abandoned several years ago but was left in place. This line was abandoned in the mid-90s. The CSX line is the Columbia-Sumter line (old Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/iujqj90n.jpgFrom the June 1967 Official Railway Guide.https://www.abandonedrails.com/marion-to-lumbertonmonthly2008-07-15https://photo.abandonedrails.com/qp8lqrob.jpgAlong SC 41 to the north of Lake View looking NE, the ROW can be made out if you look closely. The rail line went down the center of the photo, and the bank to the right formed one side of the excavation. Immediately behind the photographer, the ROW enters a swamp and the raised bank can be seen going through the swamp (the photo didn't turn out however!). This section was abandoned in 1933.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/dhbmwsdi.jpghttps://www.abandonedrails.com/barium-springs-to-mooresvillemonthly2008-07-14https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8j8dyydn.jpgFormer Southern Railway line in Barium Springs.

The ATW now terminates at the business on the right side of the photo. The line formerly continued around the curve towards the pick-up truck in the photo, and eventually on to Lillington, NC., 22 miles away. This segment was abandoned on December 15, 1961. The ATW still operates 3.38 original miles between Sanford and Jonesboro, and now operates the former Norfolk-Southern line from Sanford to Cumnock.https://www.abandonedrails.com/durham-to-duncanmonthly2008-07-09https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0p9671cr.jpgLooking north from the westbound lane of US64 to the east of Jordan Lake and south of Durham. This relatively new section was installed by 1974 and was supposedly never put into service. It was removed in 1979.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/51r6xh5a.jpgLooking south from the eastbound lane of US64, across the road from the picture to the left.

Locals reported that the area west of the pier had a large rail yard; the yard is now gone and the area gentrified. The line starts at Mariposa Street at this location, and goes all the way to India Basin at Cesear Chavez Street (formerly Army Street).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/t9emnehj.jpgThis is a picture of the tight right-of-way between Pier 24 and 26 underneath the Bay Bridge.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/jok5776u.jpgThis entire section has been rebuilt into restaurants, but the large clearance for freight cars remains.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/c9nwcu5x.jpgPier 10, facing east.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/j1a8k4x8.jpgPier 17, facing east.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/x0fwj2ms.jpgAt pier 43, metal bands simulate embedded rails.https://www.abandonedrails.com/apex-to-erwin-junctionmonthly2008-07-03https://photo.abandonedrails.com/l442c6ky.jpgA few miles south of Apex looking south along NC 55 which is to the R of the tree line on the R. This section was officially abandoned in the late 1970s, but was not removed until about 1993 because of a potential industrial park in the area. The former right of way is being used by local residents as an alternate to busy NC55. It is likely this former ROW will fall prey to the expansion of NC55 in this growing "suburb" of Research Triangle Park. The track that was left in place up until 1993 extended to just north of Holly Springs.https://www.abandonedrails.com/enterprise-to-elbamonthly2008-07-03https://www.abandonedrails.com/oakland-californiamonthly2008-07-03https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0a0lnnd5.jpgWESTERN PACIFIC: This is the former WP Passenger Depot, at the southeast corner of 3rd & Washington. It is used for law offices and local government offices today. In the past, passengers walked to the middle of 3rd Street to board trains.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/nij48fjs.jpgWESTERN PACIFIC: This plaque is attached to the front wall of the former WP passenger depot.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/tbibqt7u.jpgWESTERN PACIFIC: This is the WP bridge that goes over the estuary.

These two bridges are the only existing remnants of the WP in Oakland. According to historical maps, the WP's tracks left the pier, then traveled along 3rd Street to these two bridges.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1ww1br01.jpgWESTERN PACIFIC: It is believed that these rails is all that remains of the WP tracks. To the left is the BART electric rail, and to the right is the UP (ex-WP) yard.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ir87tgwy.jpgWESTERN PACIFIC: This former WP caboose is now used for a small boat rental company.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/wkgf2064.jpgWESTERN PACIFIC: The owner of the fishing company that resides within this former WP caboose indeed confirms that the caboose did belog to the WP; he has owned it for 18 years.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ka6wwrn8.jpgSOUTHERN PACIFIC: Looking north along Embarcadero in the Jack London Square area of Oakland.

This picture is of the spur crossing Ashby Avenue. Just a block further, it turned to the right and ended.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/57529gp1.jpgUNION PACIFIC: This shows the same spur, but a block away.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/e9hd5jaj.jpgCENTRAL PACIFIC: This shows a former CP (now UP) spur in Berkeley that serviced businesses along 5th Avenue pier. Now there is only one rail visible for a few yards, the rest is buried. You can see Interstate 880 and the UP signals in the background. The area has been taken over by the post-industrial "art" crowd.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/2cytfvhw.jpgWESTERN PACIFIC: This is a picture of one of three blocks on 4th Street in the produce area of downtown Oakland that have these "sidewalk rails", which originally serviced the warehouses. 3rd Street is where the WP right-of-way was located, and there's just barely evidence of rails in this area.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/6k3yasod.jpgThis map from 1888 is hanging in an Oakland library, and shows the right-of-ways of area railroads.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1rcsmfli.jpg16TH STREET STATION: Southern Pacific's former 16th Street Station.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/2x27xy23.jpg16TH STREET STATION: Southern Pacific's former 16th Street Station.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/fhq3i610.jpg16TH STREET STATION: Southern Pacific's former 16th Street Tower.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/t4xkh795.jpg16TH STREET STATION: Southern Pacific's former 16th Street Station.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ombp2vle.jpgWESTERN PACIFIC: A Western Pacific caboose is found in the Niles district of the former WP.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/mraq921b.jpgNILES STATION: The front of the Niles station, facing Mission Boulevard.

This section was abandoned in the early 1970s.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/px0ccdfc.jpgJust to the northwest of the picture to the left, looking back in the direction of the old bridge. The ROW has been preserved as a private road in this location. The ROW is not preserved as well in the other direction (where it has not been used as a road).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/4ae67v9i.jpgFrom the 1967 Official Railway Guide.

Underneath the I-564 bridge is Quartermaster Junction. Here the track branches off and continues compass west one mile to Norfolk International Terminals. To continue straight will take you on to West Junction and right onto the main Navy Base in Norfolk. This is where the Sewells Point facility was located. It was abandoned in the early 1970's and very little trace remains. I doubt if I will ever attempt any photos on base due to post 9/11 security issues. This line was double-tracked during the Virginian era from Sewells Point to Carolina Junction.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ftoyx2ml.jpgColeman Place - A1.4: This "tower" is of typical Virginian architecture and materials. This structure once guarded the NS/VGN diamond at Coleman Place in Norfolk.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/i7jj41x7.jpgCarolina Junction - V4.5: Norfolk Southern and the VGN crossed at grade again at Carolina Junction in Chesapeake. The diamond has long been removed and connection tracks now facilitate movements.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/nd5fvwgg.jpgSouth Norfolk - V5.1: One of the major diamonds in the Tidewater area was at South Norfolk. Here the VGN crossed over the N&W's mainline leading into Lambert's Point. During the VGN era, this was a busy place with the two rivals shuttling coal to the awaiting Colliers. The VGN track ran along the right edge of the photo between the two rightmost poles. The track in the foreground is the connection track to the N&W's Portlock Yard. The diamond was eventually removed and two new connection tracks were installed in the northeast and northwest quadrants.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/kxp7c8eg.jpgSouth Norfolk Tower - V5.1: The tower at South Norfolk controlled VGN movements across the diamond. The trackage ran just to the left of the structure in this photo. https://photo.abandonedrails.com/6x95by3n.jpgChesapeake: Here we are looking west towards Suffolk from the City of Chesapeake. This photo was taken at the Ramp Shop Road grade crossing which is approximately 1 mile west of the South Branch Bridge (Elizabeth River). There is a cement plant just behind me and I'm guessing it's the westernmost business on the existing Jarratt District. I have not investigated the line any further to the west through Chesapeake, but plan to do so in the near future.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ep3hodw0.jpgAlgren - V15.4: About halfway between Norfolk and Suffolk, the VGN crossed the SAL at grade. This location is known as Algren and is easily accessed off of Rt. 460. This photo is just east of Algren looking south down Snowden Road where it intersects with Sondej Avenue. This old grade crossing is about 1,000 ft. east of where the diamond was once located. One can only guess at what purpose the concrete base to the right of the road. It's on the wrong side of the road for a crossing gate, and too close to the diamond to have once been a distant signal.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0v356yx4.jpgJarratt - V73.3: In a view looking towards the east, we see the remaining Virginian trackage through Jarratt. This short stretch of rail is used by CSX to serve the wood chip plant just west of town. Just east of this spot there was once a diamond where the VGN crossed the ACL's Richmond-Jacksonville mainline at grade. Today the route is CSX's North End Subdivision and sees on average 30+ trains per day. The rise in the distance is Interstate 95.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/k339rovf.jpgJarratt Tower - V73.3: The tower at Jarratt was a modern structure by Virginian standards. It is my understanding that after the structure was built, it was never occupied. Just behind where I'm standing is the CSX mainline. Note the old Virginian pole to the right of the building still sporting three crossarms. Can you only picture this scene in the late 1950s with a pair of Fairbanks-Morse Train Masters waiting to cross the diamond while the ACL's Champion blows past with a purple and silver E unit on the point?https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8xvmdpj3.jpgAlberta - V98.0: Not much to be seen here. This view is looking east towards Norfolk from Church St. in Alberta.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/mp44gv7y.jpgAlberta - V98.0: In this unique view, we are once again looking east down the old roadbed. This is where the Virginian crossed over the Seaboard Air Line (SAL) on a bridge. Both lines were abandoned in the mid-1980's. It's hard to believe such high drama took place in a location that looks like this. The VGN and SAL had a joint station located in the northwestern quadrant of the crossing. In the early days, there was an elevator to aide passengers in reaching the platform for VGN passenger and mixed trains. That station was later replaced by a smaller, more humble structure which still stands among the trees in the 21st Century. I will cover this in my SAL Norlina Subdivision segment.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/6jaa71u7.jpgAlberta - V98.0: Here we are standing in "downtown" Alberta on Main St. looking west and can get a true sense of where the tracks once ran. The electrical box and code line pole are long forgotten infrastructure from a truly magnificent operation.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/tvoproau.jpgDanieltown - V104.0: While driving down Rt. 137 following the old row, I happened upon this spot near Danieltown. The old roadbed can easily be made out thanks to the recent snow. The concrete abutments still sport some faded chevrons which were painted on for the safety of motorists.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/092cnf61.jpgVictoria - V123.0: One of the more recognized locations on the Virginian was Victoria. Fifty years ago I would have been standing in the middle of the yard next to the passenger station. The silver water tank to the right was once utilized by the railroad. The Rt. 49 overpass is referred to by locals simply as "the bridge". This view is looking west towards Roanoke.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ujduxds4.jpgVictoria - V123.0: An eastward view from "the bridge" offers an overview of the site that the yard and shop complex once occupied. The small white structure in the center of the photo is the sole surviving railroad related building in town. The roundhouse was over towards the right of the photo. Steps are being taken to convert this area into a historical park by local Virginian enthusiasts.https://www.abandonedrails.com/rural-hall-to-greensboromonthly2008-07-01https://photo.abandonedrails.com/uj95i4ht.jpgAn old store near Belews Creek on the old ROW. The railroad used to run by the store in the vicinity of the wood fence (on the store side of the small tree along the fence). The road to the L is Belews Lake Road, which used to be NC 65 before Belews Lake was impounded. The line crossed Belews Creek several hundred feet from here.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/jjktjy6g.jpgFrom the 1977-78 North Carolina State Highway Map, this still shows the line from Rural Hall through Walnut Cove, Belews Creek, Stokesdale, and Summerfield, to Greensboro.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/42q0hi4t.jpgLooking north along the abandoned track north of Greensboro. This is the end of the run-around track; just past the switch, the tracks extend only far enough to accommodate a locomotive or two as they run around the train.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/gpn10yxi.jpgTurning around to face south, the run-around track continues for a short distance. The still-active part of the line within Greensboro starts about a mile south from here.https://www.abandonedrails.com/cortland-branchmonthly2008-07-01https://photo.abandonedrails.com/6f60rw4c.jpgView looking northeast toward Cortland at the McLean Road Extension crossing. This small, three-mile existing segment of the old Lehigh Valley Railroad connects to the former DL&W Syracuse Line farther up the track, and services a lumber company behind the photographer under Conrail and the NYS&W. This segment was still listed as ?active? and ?in-use? as of 2003, however, the condition of the tracks and the debris evident across the tracks suggest that this segment may have since been abandoned. A stop sign with the letter ?W? below it also can be seen to the left of the track pointing northeast.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/os6vp8c1.jpgView looking the opposite direction from the previous picture, southwest, at the McLean Road Extension crossing showing the track heading into the lumber company it served as of 2003. All of the tracks beyond the lumber yard were torn up by 1978, although the right of way, a few bridges, and other signs of the long abandoned railroad can still be found in some places, both in person and also via Google Maps as of 2008, as the line heads toward McLean and Freeville.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/923he8s2.jpgA closer inspection of the debris across the track, looking northeast toward Cortland from the same crossing.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/q6eowdte.jpgView looking southwest back toward the lumber company and the McLean Road Extension crossing.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/lm59t8p3.jpgView slightly farther up the line toward Cortland, looking northeast from the Route 281 crossing. The rails here also do not look like they have been used in quite awhile and have possibly been abandoned since 2003, although the tracks are free from debris and are likely in useable condition.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/eldstro8.jpgLooking southwest down the tracks at the Route 281 crossing. At the trees seen in the distance, the track curves to the left and then enters the lumber yard as seen previously.https://www.abandonedrails.com/dayton-to-north-river-gapmonthly2008-06-30https://photo.abandonedrails.com/rxufgtb6.jpgThese bridge piers are on the north side of Bridgewater, where the Chesapeake Western crossed the North River. This section of line was abandoned before the 1930s.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/wjxfdg0c.jpgThis view shows the "end of track" in Dayton. The section of track between Dayton and Bridgewater was likely abandoned within the last 20 years, although much of the right of way to Bridgewater is obliterated. https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0l061l0v.jpgThis view is from the Mt. Solon post office, which was built on the right of way. The Mt Solon General Store at right appears to have been closed for many years. The Chesapeake Western headed away from the camera where the utility/light pole is located.https://www.abandonedrails.com/gore-to-wardensvillemonthly2008-06-29https://photo.abandonedrails.com/wfnvcdw2.jpgThis engine is sitting in weeds near the Winchester & Western diesel shop in Gore, VA.

This was opened within the past year, and covers a short segment of the line between Piney River and Roses Mill (on the Tye River).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ccxdo5jy.jpgThis is part of the right of way not used for a trail, near Lowesville, as seen from the location of the route 778 grade crossing. https://www.abandonedrails.com/sealston-to-dahlgren-laboratorymonthly2008-06-29https://photo.abandonedrails.com/vpr7edu5.jpgFormer US Government (US Navy) railroad right of way facing east from VA Route 605 (Bloomsburg Road), less than a mile east of the "end-of-branch".https://photo.abandonedrails.com/qilofyjg.jpgThe forest has completely taken over the right-of-way at this point! This is at the same location as the previous photo; however, it is facing west. Look closely in the right-hand third of the photo...there is a standard metal crossbuck with a wooden post, with tree branches surrounding it. Any trace of rails, ballast, etc. is completely gone (or buried) at this location. This is at VA Route 605, just north of the junction with VA Route 665 (Birchwood Creek Road) in King George County.https://www.abandonedrails.com/edinburg-to-mount-jacksonmonthly2008-06-29https://photo.abandonedrails.com/vbsddafl.jpgThis view is at Edinburg facing northeast. The "main line" is intact but solidly rusted in this area. Note the crossing signal on the left is damaged. The siding at right has a modern road crossing, but it is no longer connected to the main line (switch points removed).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/v1n3e97t.jpgThis view is at Mt. Jackson facing northeast. The next photo shows this same area in 2008.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/euw7s63i.jpgThis is the location of the original depot in Mt. Jackson, which was torn down in 1975. The new building on the right is the Mount Jackson Visitor's Center that was dedicated in 2003. It was built to look like an old style train station. It houses a visitor's center, town offices, town police, town library and a town museum with some RR artifacts. The first crossing right by the visitor's center is Depot Street and the next one up is Dutch Lane. The north end switch for the town siding is between these two crossings. View is looking towards Bowman.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/e20pqhep.jpgAnother view of the Mount Jackson visitors center on the site of the old depot, looking south. Also visible is the north switch for the town siding and Gospel Street adjacent to the right-of-way on the right.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/rtmq29wb.jpgThis is taken from the same location as the previous picture, but facing the other direction (south), towards "South Jackson". This view shows the mile post and town name. The building ahead to the left by the siding is the old farmers co-op and it has been closed a number of years.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/j3jjh4in.jpgThis is a view looking north from the Orkney Drive crossing. This is where the south switch is for the town siding that runs up past the depot site/visitor's center. Heading south from this switch is a bridge that crosses over State Route 263 heading towards "South Jackson".https://photo.abandonedrails.com/90hr5oct.jpgThis is a closer shot looking north that shows the north switch for the town siding just before the Dutch Lane crossing. Taken from Depot Street.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/k808qw1e.jpgThe railroad bridge over a tributary of Mill Creek looking south out of Mount Jackson. (This bridge also crosses over a highway, as seen in the next picture.)https://photo.abandonedrails.com/kftjmjb9.jpgThe high steel bridge over VA Route 263, south of Mount Jackson. Immediately to the south is a tributary of Mill Creek, as seen in the previous photo.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/l61g0nsn.jpgThe railroad bridge going over Mill Creek, south of Mount Jackson.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/maj7983l.jpgThis shows one of two businesses in town that require a rail connection, from the south. A fertilizer company and its spur, in use by a covered hopper.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/3hi0mw5n.jpgNearby the fertilizer company, there was a pile of old ties and further up a pile of new ones. It looks like there has been some random tie replacement here and there but there are still many bad ones throughout the line. No pattern or specific order was observed. The line over the bridge looked very well maintained unlike other parts of the line.https://www.abandonedrails.com/alexandria-to-bluemontmonthly2008-06-28https://photo.abandonedrails.com/nxtquiy6.jpgThe abandoned ROW of the W&OD in Herndon, VA.

This view faces east from the former Knott Avenue grade crossing in Stanton. These gondolas are at the "end of track" and they might be reserved for the former Santa Ana branch salvage effort, which was underway in the summer of 2003. This location is about a mile west of Los Alamitos Junction, and about two miles east of the original end of the branch.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0s8xtspb.jpgThis view is at the site of the Bloomfield Avenue grade crossing in Los Alamitos facing east. An elementary school parking lot has partially taken over the right-of-way. The track ran adjacent to the large white building in the left background. This is a distribution warehouse with loading doors on the "track side", but it now relies on trucks. The "tire marks" crossing the street are the paved over rails of a spur. The dark pavement patch barely visible at right was the "main line" of the branch.https://www.abandonedrails.com/huntington-beach-branchmonthly2008-06-25https://photo.abandonedrails.com/o89mblq3.jpgThis shows the bridge over Ellis Avenue, in the same general area at the end of the section abandoned in the 1980s. The bridge itself looks to be of relatively recent construction (1970s or later); it is not known what type of bridge it replaced, or if there existed an at-grade crossing at this location previously.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/y5rbqm12.jpgThis picture is looking north from Ellis Avenue bridge.https://www.abandonedrails.com/chambersburg-to-shippensburgmonthly2008-06-24https://photo.abandonedrails.com/4c3njo7l.jpgThis view (facing north) shows the former Western Maryland right of way where it crossed King Street in Chambersburg.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/pcd2g2fm.jpgThis view shows the current end-of-track in Chambersburg. The sign at right says "End Grind DTC Block". (The sign at left facing the other way says "Begin Grind DTC block.)

This was the beginning of the Skaneatles & Jordan Railroad Comapny before the name was changed to the SSLR in1866. All of the SSLR became part of the New York State Rails to Trails Program.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/4c6leda6.jpgThis view shows another section that crossed Fennel Street. The SSLR zig-zaged around and is very easy to follow throughout the 5 miles that it covered. https://photo.abandonedrails.com/gbbuy7lh.jpgThis is the SSLR / N.Y.C. & H.R.R.R. Station. This staion was closed in the 1950s, after which Penn Central sold it (via bankruptcy trustee) to the Central New York Model Railroad Club which continues as owner today. The SSLR sidings are now gone but were on the other side of the freight house next to the present Finger Lakes Railway tracks.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/f32qjqbw.jpgThe Concrete Bridge Pier to the right of the stone bridge is part of the orignal SSLR before a track realignment. The tracks were moved to the other side of the creek some time in the 1930s. The road is Crow Hill Road.https://www.abandonedrails.com/schenectady-to-green-islandmonthly2008-06-20https://photo.abandonedrails.com/44laim4f.jpgLooking northeast along the old ROW in Schenectady which is now a paved walking trail.

A Western Maryland branch that served a power plant used this bridge; the rails are still in place (best seen next to the shed at left). There is a rusted siding on the far side of the canal that passes through the trees and crossed the WM branch on a diamond (still in place). Judging by the height of the trees and the condition of the track, it has been several decades since any trains passed by here! Highway bridge is US 11. https://www.abandonedrails.com/keymar-to-union-bridgemonthly2008-06-18https://photo.abandonedrails.com/d8mme9qj.jpgThis view, facing west, shows the abandoned right of way of the Pennsylvania RR branch to Union Bridge (the dirt alley heading away from the camera between the two trees, to the left of the utility pole). This highway is MD Route 75; downtown Union Bridge is to the right (north). A large cement factory is behind the camera.https://www.abandonedrails.com/popes-creek-branchmonthly2008-06-18https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0825fdd1.jpgPRR Popes Creek branch right of way facing south, from the former site of the US 301 grade crossing.

Curving to the right, near the pole, is the former branch to Massey, MD. Further to the left, the branch with rails still in place to Easton, MD (later operated by the Chesapeake RR) curves around gradually. In the left foreground is the still active NS Delmarva line.https://www.abandonedrails.com/clayton-to-easton-and-oxfordmonthly2008-06-15https://photo.abandonedrails.com/u7iejk40.jpgThis shows the "end of the line" in Clayton, DE, where the last train stopped on October 30, 1998.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8vlkqd9e.jpgCloser view of the engines; lead unit is lettered Chesapeake Railroad. Both units are heavily vandalized, with all windows broken and some cab components destroyed.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1bajms2n.jpgThis old RF&P car is still connected to the second engine (barely visible in the previous photo). It has been gutted; "CHRR" stencil in white paint barely visible at center of the car.https://www.abandonedrails.com/eagle-mountain-power-plant-spurmonthly2008-06-15https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0mt03g1n.jpgThe spur's current end is just inside the TrinityRail Industries property fence. A repaired tankcar marks the end of useable track.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/pb0bvlrr.jpgThis head-on shot shows where the tracks once approached a grade crossing with the road.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/w449yoi3.jpgThe grade crossing with Peden Road has been removed and filled to the point where the crossing itself is no longer evident.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/aokifqcq.jpgLooking across Peden Road from TrinityRail, a cattle crossing might indicate to observant passers-by that a railroad once crossed here.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/kk04f6xy.jpgThe cattle guard to the south of Peden Road is in a state of bad disrepair, with rails strewn about.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/07qblnb3.jpgAfter crossing Peden Road, the spur heads due west and parallels the roadway. The satellite photography shows the spur being used for car storage at the time. I visited the spur in 2003 and witnessed this; thus the spur must have been removed after that.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/4qgnpky8.jpgThe former right-of-way as viewed from Peden Road.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/92b7lwhr.jpgThe spur crosses another cattle guard, this one with a "Longhorn" decoration on the gate.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/pkkam2ry.jpgThis shows the railbed looking back to the east. The cattle guard gate in the previous picture can barely be seen at the crest of the hill.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/cqyfgl2y.jpgThis is at the same location as the previous picture, but looking west. Peden Road can be seen going over the rise on the right. Just beyond this picture, the tracks divert from their present course along Peden Road and head in west-south-west direction.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/kqtdupd0.jpgThe satellite photograph for this picture shows that tracks ending just after they changed direction. Even out this far, railcars were still stored on the tracks.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/mb9qx7gf.jpgThe abandoned right-of-way cuts through the trees.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/9buux2ad.jpgThe rise shows where tracks once ran across the field.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ecx5ynl7.jpgA cut in the rise suggests there was a small bridge at this point, probably one made of wood.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/4ywe0ad8.jpgThe railbed gently curves around the land before making a turn to the southeast and parallels Farm-to-Market Road 1220, or Morris Dido Road. Here, the right-of-way is visible proceeding southwest along the highway.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0ul7gmlf.jpgLooking the other direction, the former right-of-way approaches the Eagle Mountain power plant.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/5l3iuh2k.jpgBeyond this, the tracks cross FM 1220 to the southwest and continue on to the power plant. The power plant is a secure area and requires authorized access; I was not able to get any pictures of the right-of-way on TXU property.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/qtn7to4o.jpgThe final picture shows the right-of-way to be barely visible south of its crossing with Bonds Ranch Road. Slowly, the evidence of the "Texas Electric" spur gives way to nature.https://www.abandonedrails.com/elizabeth-new-jerseymonthly2008-06-15https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ab6ob7w5.jpgThis first picture shows the four-track mainline partly reclaimed by nature as it runs through Elizabeth, NJ.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/qmj4filu.jpgHere the right-of-way crosses over Broad Street, which ducks under Amtrak's Northeast Corridor to the left.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/hf13me87.jpgHere is the CNJ passenger station (now a restaurant), shown next to the abandoned right-of-ways.

The eastern track of the wye heads to the lock and dam at the nearby Mississippi River; the tracks to the south connect with Union Pacific at Tallulah, LA. The Delta Southern currently owns the line and stores a few of its CF7s on the northeastern quadrant of the wye, just out of view to the right.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/9w3vtgs7.jpgThis southward view of the tracks at Roosevelt, LA, shows the tracks not to be in a very poor state.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/30a2i815.jpgHere, the tracks approach a bridge over a small bayou at Alsatia, LA. US 65 can be seen to the left.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ybvtpdip.jpgThe tracks cross over the wooden bridge at Alsatia, LA.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/oyppnqmo.jpgThe wooden bridge over the bayou is small.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/h7ndqqfa.jpgLooking at the tracks on the south side of the bridge.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/wfgj7hor.jpgHere we see evidence of the tracks in Transylvania, LA where they cross state highway 581. Alongside the mainline is a small siding, seen in the background.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/lqw6vqxd.jpgThe mainline crosses SH 581 and proceeds south, through the grass, and ultimately through the trees in the distance.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/7d8s9dfg.jpgThe tracks follow a straight path through the trees in the background.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/j6oq1pmb.jpgThe grade crossing of the siding at SH 581.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/3y07k4nh.jpgAnother view of the siding at SH 581.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ck37c6fo.jpgI have never seen this type of crossbuck with a triangular sign indicating the number of tracks.https://www.abandonedrails.com/northwestern-pacific-passenger-stationmonthly2008-05-19https://photo.abandonedrails.com/lwhypbgi.jpgThe NWPRR depot today, lovingly restored and used as a visitor center.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/bmryvdlv.jpgA closeup of a utility cart with the initials of the Northwestern Pacific Railroad.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/jb1ykaub.jpgThe semaphore signal found outside the depot, still standing guard over the abandoned tracks.https://www.abandonedrails.com/toledo-to-heathmonthly2008-05-02https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8j06kiw5.jpgLooking north, the right-of-way is seen as it approaches US Route 6.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/vxp8s1s1.jpgJust past the former crossing with US Route 6, looking north. The railbed has been obliterated at the former crossing of US-6 (no more "hump" in the road). This suggests that US-6 was rebuilt after the abandonment of the railroad.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/hl0ub9uq.jpgLooking north in Stony Ridge is the grade crossing of the line with US Route 20. The rails have been paved over here, and just below the crossing signals, is a sign that reads "EXEMPT". There was a depot in Stony Ridge; the remains of a possible platform next to the track suggest that the depot may have been located here.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/okkqti3h.jpgLooking south in Stony Ridge, a milepost denoting 10 miles from Toledo.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/dsjvpuj1.jpgLooking north, a partially dismantled siding sits along the mainline in Stony Ridge. The date stamps on the tracks read, "1953," while the tie plates are stamped "1944."https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ql3wxskn.jpgLooking north in Stony Ridge, the tracks end here. Crossties and various railroad hardware (tie plates, bolts, nuts) lie in place for about 500 feet behind the photo.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/yhuuvmaj.jpgLooking south in Stony Ridge, the rails end just behind the photo. Crossties and railroad hardware are in place, as pictured, for another 500 feet beyond where the photo was taken.

The condition of the wood wasn't too good, and there was considerable fire damage and insect degradation.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/vbpta921.jpgLooking north on the Northwest Pacific tracks from the point where the line gets cut by a public works yard. In total the whole length left is only about 600 meters. This area is accessible from a trailer park right off US Route 101. The area is swampy and overgrown.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/4cqn5y86.jpgThis view can be seen from the other side of Drake Boulevard where the existing tracks end. The right-of-way continues underneath a parking lot, then becomes very overgrown and impossible to walk; a path alongside offers access.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/mbo6p0bx.jpgThis view is looking north toward the portal of Tunnel #3 and was taken where the rail can last be seen underground. The hillside right behind the portal has caved in, probably due to a spring mudslide, and the tunnel entrance is completely covered. The date stamped at the top (the part with the graffiti) states 1924.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/e9k8d5j3.jpgThe north side of the Tunnel #3.

The ROW has been converted into a very nice park/bike path.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/gby3ft1n.jpgLooking north at where the line split, the left side is the spur going up to Larkspur, the right heading off to the main line. A map says that this was the Baltimore Park stop, but there was no evidence of where a depot would have been, so it assumed to be a whistle stop.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/yutcov0g.jpgA cement bridge over the ROW about 200 yards south of the Baltimore Park stop looking north. Alexander Avenue goes over the bridge. Based on it condition, it looks to have been built in the 1910s or 20s.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/tmsk8jn1.jpgLooking south where the station used to be in the old downtown of Corte Madera, CA.

The footings used for the bridge supports can still be seen on the slope in the foreground. The footings from the canyon floor have been removed, but two footings on the far slope can be seen just beyond the parking lot. The far slope has a concrete staircase (still in place), somewhat hidden by the brush, that ascends to what was probably the Ivanhoe car stop. There is nothing at the top of the stairs now except a bridge abutment.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/3yfcyeme.jpgThe Pacific Electric substation, now converted to residences. The original tracks ran parallel to the platform along the substation. Per old published photos, the track bed was lower than the dirt would indicate; evidently some dirt has been filled in over the years.

Later, the line continued to Barnwell and beyond, crossing at a diamond west of downtown Blackville. The town's Union station was built facing this diamond, with platforms serving both lines. When Norfolk Southern abandoned both lines in the mid 1980s, the station was moved, restored and remodeled, and now serves as the town library.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8n9l1xg1.jpgA plate girder bridge, abandoned in the early 1980s, is still in place in 2001, barely visible from SC Highway 3 just south of downtown Barnwell, crossing the bed of the abandoned ACL (former Manchester & Augusta).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/vrwq1r7r.jpgCrossbuck sign in driveway near Furman, SC.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/qrawqfwj.jpgView of roadbed from the SC Highway 6 overpass looking back to Edmund in the Sandhills of South Carolina.https://www.abandonedrails.com/branchville-and-bowman-railroadmonthly2007-11-01https://www.abandonedrails.com/carolina-and-western-railroadmonthly2007-11-01https://www.abandonedrails.com/blue-ridge-railroad-projectmonthly2007-11-01https://photo.abandonedrails.com/584xhdxo.jpgA view looking out of Stumphouse Tunnel. No trains ever ran through this tunnel as it was never completed. This tunnel was to become part of a route from Anderson, SC, to Knoxville, TN. The railroad made it as far as Walhalla.

The railroad would have been on the right side of the building, where OH route 8 is today. Apparently NOT&L's post-railroad incarnation, Ohio Edison, still owns the building and is using it as a control room for the adjoining substation (just off the photo to the left). Sadly, this historic building is now completely surrounded by strip malls and fast-food outlets where only farmhouses stood during the station's heyday.https://www.abandonedrails.com/keyser-to-twin-mountainmonthly2007-11-01https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8mdnbjtk.jpgThis view shows the library at Burlington, West Virginia, in the former Twin Mountain and Potomac RR station. According to the librarian, the original station was much smaller; it was only the one-story portion beyond the gable. The baggage cart (barely visible) is on loan from a Keyser Historical Society. The cart was originally used at the B&O station in Keyser, where the TM&P interchanged with the B&O.https://www.abandonedrails.com/hillside-new-jerseymonthly2007-08-08https://photo.abandonedrails.com/xekx7w1b.jpgThis track went to what was originally the American Can Company. Afterwards it became a railroad car rebuilding company for a time. The track has been inactive for 20 years.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/fp1l1is2.jpgThis building was originally owned by the American Can Company, which shipped products out by rail. It was then sold to a person who used it to rebuild and refurbish railroad passenger cars, most of which were private.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/3vu7ongw.jpgThis track was used to delivered products to Bristol Meyers, who manufactured toothpastes, deodorants, etc. Bristol Meyers stopped shipping by rail about 15 to 20 years.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/w7mvixy9.jpgOf the two crossings pictured, only one is still in use by the Oasis Foods Company. They receive 6 to 8 tankcars twice a week that carry cooking oils used in food manufacturing. The other track goes to the American Can Company (as seen earlier).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8fwr913m.jpgThis crossing of abandoned tracks is located at the corner of Ramsey Avenue and Bloy Street.

Its current western terminus is about a quarter-mile to the right of this picture.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8h17xo9b.jpgThis is the distant signal for DGNO trains approaching the KCS interchange. It's rare to see a new semaphore these days.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/jg128djb.jpgEast of Tower 64 along the Blacklands Railroad (ex-SSW), we see the remains of a tri-color signal, rotated 90-degrees to the main. The tracks from the east up to this point are still used for storage.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/9rqetdie.jpgThis signal is no longer used.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/hhjb8n7v.jpgWonder how old this signal is, and the last time it was used?https://photo.abandonedrails.com/9ikh48pe.jpgTo the east of Hunt Yard, the ex-MKT trackage splits. The main track heads north to Denison (seen in the background on the left); the abandoned tracks represent the original right-of-way eastward out of town; the newer tracks in the foreground is the new KCS alignment.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ge15ut4n.jpgThe abandoned right-of-way is still marked by crosstieshttps://photo.abandonedrails.com/9tx5xtgc.jpgHere is a view looking back to the west, where the abandoned ROW joins the new alignment; the tracks continue on to Hunt Yard.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/dvo1kl5c.jpgThe tracks continue eastward. Just beyond the slight curve to the left, they approach the old MKT overpass, which is no longer there.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/r3m39vwl.jpgFollowing the abandoned MKT tracks, we find an old railroad coal dump buried in the trees.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/jt5bs0aa.jpgThis is what remains of the former MKT machine shops.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/16ttl21e.jpgThese chutes were used to unload hoppers full of commodity into open-top trucks waiting below.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/c39y6m5t.jpgThe remains of the MKT overpass (which was the starting point for MKT's Mineola Branch) can be seen here in this view looking northward.

The grade crossing was classified as abandoned just recently.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/f8d9s09a.jpgThis picture shows the tracks approaching the Ciba Geigy chemical plant.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/nco3cuas.jpgThis picture shows the tracks approaching the Ciba Geigy chemical plant.https://www.abandonedrails.com/galveston-wharves-switchermonthly2006-12-07https://photo.abandonedrails.com/5eilj9ah.jpgThis picture was taken from the Pelican Island Causeway. The switcher is no longer there.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/us0d7ale.jpgAnother picture of the abandoned switcher from the Pelican Island Causeway (hence the guardrail in the foreground). It is no longer there.https://www.abandonedrails.com/dogpatch-usamonthly2006-12-07https://photo.abandonedrails.com/titbdnvy.jpgA derelict open passenger car.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/h0rhn3iw.jpgThe old passenger station.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/yfafyg4a.jpgAn old bridge.https://www.abandonedrails.com/verlassene-eisenbahnen-von-europamonthly2006-12-07https://photo.abandonedrails.com/gpfcnjb8.jpgHere are some abandoned tracks in the Swiss town of Interlaken. My guess is that is used to be an electrified trolley line, though the catenary poles were not evident.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/l2wr7txr.jpgAnother shot of the same tracks as they go across a now unused bridge.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/fdr3xqrd.jpgHere in Munich, Germany, the old trolley line is still visible between the main lanes of automobile traffic. Munich still has an active trolley system.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/paohcrkd.jpgAnother shot of the tracks, this time buried in grass. The structure in the background is an elevator that takes passengers to Munich's subway system.https://www.abandonedrails.com/slack-industrial-parkmonthly2006-12-07https://photo.abandonedrails.com/5cerdumy.jpgThis is the southern end of the main siding. The KCS mainline is the elevated track in the background which services the park. The siding off to the left is used occasionally to unload rock gondolas onto rock-hauling trucks. Its length is about 2,000 feet.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/0f6ul1bw.jpgFurther north on the siding. The siding itself is on the left on this side of the switch. The other track serves a warehouse just behind and to the right of where this picture was taken. The KCS is using the usable part of the siding to store MOW equipment. The bridge in the background is LA state highway 526, or the "Bert Kouns Industrial Loop."https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ax89uata.jpgSame place as above, but looking northwards down the main siding. The siding splits into two main tracks just on the other side of the concrete driveway. The tracks leading into the warehouse are in poor shape.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/i2sfjvsp.jpgLooking down the double-track siding proper. Ash Grove Cement at the north end of the park can be seen (it's the white tower behind the tree). This is a good indication as to how long the siding is, as the tracks rejoin with the KCS main just on the other side of the tower.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ewbi9csb.jpgThe beginning of the double tracks. The tracks are in pretty bad shape.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1e1mkm3v.jpgA view of the double tracks. There are many streets that cross the tracks such as what is seen here. In every instance, the tracks have been paved over. The first crossover is just out of view past the street in the background.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/zo50xwat.jpgThe first crossover, and a good example of the typical condition of each of them.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/id8bafeu.jpgA lone switch stand and target still guards over its switch. The switches themselves were rusted to the point that the switch points were immovable.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/mgonormn.jpgAnother view down the tracks. The track on the left serves a loading dock that runs the length of the warehouse.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/5v7gy7ov.jpgTowards the northern end of the park, the ladder tracks begin coming together.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/yw5uqsqh.jpgHere is a view of the other track as the two become one. The single track then heads off through the overgrown grass back to the KCS main line.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/mg0u4hzl.jpgA view of the switch that serves the two tracks and the grass that has overcome it.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ywyuwe68.jpgThe target that watches over the switch. As with the other switches, the points were rusty and immovable.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/1gt1osta.jpgA small bridge over a ditch. This is just north of the switch seen in the previous pictures.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ocbdzj3t.jpgLooking at the small bridge from the top. Wonder what it would be like to lay under the bridge as train passed over you?https://photo.abandonedrails.com/o7a7rqjm.jpgAn abandoned rail still holds its place among the growing grass and weeds.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/mlg17jxk.jpgThe tracks as seen from just north of the small bridge. The tracks curve off to the right, and then back the left as they approach the KCS main line. At this point, they merge with the main double-track siding north of Ash Grove Cement, which is just outside the picture on the right.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/pwsjxprs.jpgHere the tracks merge with double-track siding before merging with the KCS main line. This is the northern end of Slack Industrial Park, about a mile north of where the first pictures were taken. You can see that the tracks to Ash Grove Cement are still in use by the parked covered hopper on the right.https://www.abandonedrails.com/keller-texasmonthly2006-12-07https://photo.abandonedrails.com/wsb9ip7w.jpgHere is the "train" that Keller built. Up front is BNSF 9920, an EMD E9 passenger locomotive. Behind it is a BN flatcar, and an ATSF boxcar (all uncoupled).https://photo.abandonedrails.com/dlzuybqy.jpgThe E9 itself. While fenced in, it looks like at one point, visitors were allowed up and through the locomotive cab. The numberboards have been removed. The locomotive is still in pretty decent shape, though a canopy overhead wouldn't hurt.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/8lpznukq.jpgA closeup of the nose and cab of BNSF E9.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/xmn3bwvz.jpgA head-on shot of BNSF E9.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/gjw0jexv.jpgBN bulkhead flatcar # 621542. On the side, written in chalk is "B/O AIR HOSE".https://photo.abandonedrails.com/evim7yyi.jpgATSF 50' boxcar # 601063. A little paint and some care, and this would be a fine example of a non-descript boxcar.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/k0fctwj6.jpgThe plaque in dedication of the "Whistle Stop Spur". It is good to see a town taking hold of its heritage.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/l1spkid7.jpgHere is the Keller Building Supply spur at MP 740.3 on UP's Choctaw Sub. The switch is of the manual-throw variety.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ogrmruv3.jpgThis shows more of the spur as it leads off to the Keller Building Supply property.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/ilenlc3p.jpgThe tracks still have a "used" appearance. I do know that UP will sometimes store cars here from time to time. The tracks here are not as maintained as they are on the mainline, of course.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/na0dyh1v.jpgA derail has been put in place since Keller Building Supply closed down. Its flag stands among the overgrowth.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/4dmn304u.jpgAnother view showing the derail apparatus and its flag. It's a wonder how crews can see the flag.https://photo.abandonedrails.com/qlroqrpy.jpgThe tracks continue onto the property. They curve off to the left and into a warehouse which is just out of view.https://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/allegheny-and-western-railwaymonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/atchison-topeka-and-santa-fe-railwaymonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/baltimore-and-ohio-chicago-terminal-railwaymonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/baltimore-and-ohio-railroadmonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/baltimore-and-philadelphia-railroadmonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/boston-and-maine-railroadmonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/buffalo-rochester-and-pittsburg-railroadmonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/camden-and-burlington-county-railwaymonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/chicago-rock-island-and-pacific-railwaymonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/cincinnati-indianapolis-and-western-railroadmonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/fairmont-morgantown-and-pittsburg-railroadmonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/fort-worth-and-denver-railroadmonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/great-northern-railwaymonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/gulf-colorado-and-santa-fe-railroadmonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/missouri-kansas-texas-railroadmonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/new-mexico-central-railwaymonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/new-york-central-systemmonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/northern-pacific-railwaymonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/pennsylvania-railroadmonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/pittsburgh-and-western-railroadmonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/saint-louis-and-san-francisco-railwaymonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/saint-louis-and-southwestern-railwaymonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/southern-pacific-railroadmonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/texas-and-pacific-railwaymonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/tylerdale-connecting-railroadmonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/union-pacific-railroadmonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/icc-filings/maryland/washington-county-railroadmonthlyhttps://www.abandonedrails.com/abingdon-coal-and-iron-company-railroadmonthly2013-10-25https://www.abandonedrails.com/acme-red-river-and-northern-railwaymonthly2016-09-16https://www.abandonedrails.com/ada-terminal-railroadmonthly2013-06-30https://www.abandonedrails.com/addison-railroadmonthly2012-08-03https://www.abandonedrails.com/adirondack-railroadmonthly2008-11-22https://www.abandonedrails.com/ahnapee-and-western-railwaymonthly2021-04-23https://www.abandonedrails.com/akron-bedford-and-cleveland-railroadmonthly2007-11-01https://www.abandonedrails.com/akron-canton-and-youngstown-railroadmonthly2012-08-02https://www.abandonedrails.com/alabamamonthly2016-10-02https://www.abandonedrails.com/alabama-and-florida-railwaymonthly2011-03-25https://www.abandonedrails.com/alabama-and-tennessee-rivers-railroadmonthly2016-10-02https://www.abandonedrails.com/alabama-midland-railroadmonthly2008-07-03https://www.abandonedrails.com/alabama-tennessee-and-northern-railroadmonthly2012-08-02https://www.abandonedrails.com/alameda-and-san-joaquin-railroadmonthly2011-11-02https://www.abandonedrails.com/alameda-belt-line-railroadmonthly2012-08-10https://www.abandonedrails.com/alamogordo-sacramento-mountain-railwaymonthly2011-05-04https://www.abandonedrails.com/alaskamonthly2012-09-11https://www.abandonedrails.com/alaska-railroadmonthly2011-07-08https://www.abandonedrails.com/albany-and-northern-railwaymonthly2012-08-25https://www.abandonedrails.com/albany-florida-and-northern-railwaymonthly2012-08-25https://www.abandonedrails.com/alcolu-railroadmonthly2007-11-01https://www.abandonedrails.com/alexandria-and-bloomfield-railroadmonthly2013-10-13https://www.abandonedrails.com/alexandria-and-nebraska-city-railroadmonthly2013-10-13https://www.abandonedrails.com/algonac-transit-authoritymonthly2012-08-02https://www.abandonedrails.com/allegheny-and-western-railwaymonthly2016-10-01https://www.abandonedrails.com/allegheny-portage-railroadmonthly2008-03-01https://www.abandonedrails.com/allegheny-valley-railroadmonthly2021-04-21https://www.abandonedrails.com/alton-and-southern-railroadmonthly2012-01-01https://www.abandonedrails.com/alum-rock-railwaymonthly2013-11-24https://www.abandonedrails.com/amador-central-railroadmonthly2019-04-19https://www.abandonedrails.com/amador-foothill-railroadmonthly2019-04-19https://www.abandonedrails.com/angelina-and-neches-river-railroadmonthly2010-10-09https://www.abandonedrails.com/ann-arbor-railroadmonthly2013-11-11https://www.abandonedrails.com/annapolis-and-elkridge-railroadmonthly2016-10-01https://www.abandonedrails.com/annapolis-short-line-railroadmonthly2013-10-19https://www.abandonedrails.com/annapolis-washington-and-baltimore-railroadmonthly2012-05-30https://www.abandonedrails.com/anthony-and-northern-railroadmonthly2021-03-05https://www.ab
