Blacklands Railroad Action

Contributor Pick

Blacklands RR freight slowly approaches an underpass at Hwy. 69. I liked the way the somewhat overgrown roadbed fades in the horizon.

Awesome Shot! What a find to see that on those tracks!

These spent a few years on the L&C in South Carolina. I had thought they were being returned to the leasor to undergo a rebuild, but apparently not. They were replaced on the L&C by nice, painted (and presumably rebuilt) GP38-2s from GMTX.

I can tell that track aint used much its rusty and covered in weeds.

Dominique De Champeaux August 23, 2008 at 12:23 PM
