Old SAL/CG interchange track
Title:  Old SAL/CG interchange track
Description:  It appears the old SAL-SCL/CG-NS interchange track at Arlington is being cleared and readied for use. It has been several years since this track was used and now serves as an interchange between the GSWR and NS. I am not sure what would prompt it's return to service but not only was it being cleared, many new ties were being installed also.

The GSWR mainline crosses the NS mainline at the foot of the hill seen in the pic while the interchange track provides a connection between the two roads.

Old CofG depot
Title:  Old CofG depot
Description:  The old Central of Georgia depot at Leesburg is showing signs of needing some attention. It appears the City of Leesburg uses it for storage. From looking in the windows it was victim of a "modernization" thats included paneling and celetex ceilings. A shame someone doesn't take better care of such a historical building.
