My late Dad (RCJ I) and I (RLJ II) did an eastern trip for Spring Break 2001. We stayed at a motel in Myrtle Breach. Somehow missed the arrival of the Carolina Southern Railway. I walked to their tracks to capture the only Carolina Southern locomotives I have ever seen! Now they are long gone. Wish I would have seen them working! Cool High Hood GP30 still in Southern Railway colors amazingly around 20 years gone!!!!! Date approx. (Canon 35mm S.L.R. camera, Kodak Gold 100 print film)

My first overpass photo of CALA

You won't often see this bridge down but when you do you better have a camera! This was taken with a 1940s Kodak Jiffy Six20 folding camera. heh. I had this and an Agfa Clack when I heard the locomtive's horns blast! Ex Mid-Atlantic RR 958 still in her old clothes and yes, that's an Ex-CN EMD FB unit in there and another geep CALA 950 on the point.

CALA 950 leads the way to the Pine Island Bridge In Myrtle Beach,SC to cross the Intercoastal Waterway

Carolina Southern Locomotives headed by Ex-Mid Atlantic RR CALA 958 speeds through the traffic waiting at the traffic light at the intersection of US 501 and Seaboard St. in Myrtle Beach,SC on the way to pick up boxcars in the city.

The conductor heads out of the cab as the train approaches the 84 Lumber in Myrtle Beach

Profile of exSouthern GP30

ex Waccamaw Coast line B-unit

The only Carolina Southern unit in 'Pullman Green' shoves into 84 Luner. At this point the train is only about 1/2 a mile from the Atlantic Ocean!

exSouthern GP30, on the other side of the Parking Structure is the beach and ocean!

Ex Southern GP30 still shows it paint scheme as Carolina Southern 2613 backs on the spur with a car load for 84 Lumber.

This unit was sandwiched between GP7 unit 715 and 880 on December 8th 1977.

This was taken from a mini golf course

The end of track isnt far behind me

The Stationmasters office. Not that anything would come from the east.

It isnt original. But it is still nice

The city has plans for the station

Postcards of town

Looking east on the trackside. Notice beach sand platforms

Taken from inside the engine houqe.

Original motor used to raise and lower the bridge.

Bridge lowered due to Hurricane Irene
