Well, I have a mental picture. Unfortunately, I did not have a camera with me the times when I saw them (and I would have needed a telephoto lens anyhow). Circa '62 and on to the demise of the FM's, I

Thanks Marv. To say the least, that aerial view is inspirational. I still have a question about one movement. Is there an west leg of a wye on the south side of the station where something like the FM

Thanks Jason, that was pretty quick drawing. On the 1935 map I could not tell that the Central of Georgia had its own line along side the AGS past Woodlawn. Thus the IC - CofGa connecting trains had a

Thanks Carl. Looks like the AGS crews (south end) got stuck with the extra move. Jack

Ike, I don't think that I need to look at the contracts. I just am hoping that someone who spent time around there who can tell me how the trains got in and out. Jack

I am curious how the through passenger train services accessed Birmingham Terminal Station. For instance, for the SLSF - Southern services, I would think that Frisco arrived and departed the north end

Thanks Ike, That early picture is interesting. I agree that the construction of Norris Yard, and the rebuilding of Inman Yard would be interesting topics. I seem to recall that Inman had tracks added

I have some aerial photos showing the grading for Norris Yard at Irondale AL east of Birmingham. I am curious what the timeframe for the construction of Norris Yard was. Appreciate it! Jack Wyatt

Thanks. I don't think either of those CTC installations took place before the end of WWII, and probably did not occur at least until the 1950s. I don't see CTC in my April 26, 1948 AGS employee timeta

What really got Southern into CTC big time was the elimination of double-track on parts of the CNO&TO and then the Mainline between Atlanta GA and Alexandria VA I do wonder if its first installation w

I wonder where Southern's first CTC installation was? Jack Wyatt

Generally, Southern Railway did not use sub-division or district names. In the employee timetable for the Birmingham Division, it is simply 'Between Austell and Birmingham - Westbound' or 'Between Bir

My problem was finding the sub-group. Missing it was my fault. However the SRHA 'links' page needs some cleaning up to get rid of defunct Yahoo groups. Perhaps as that is done, a link to the modeling

I see what I missed. On the main group homepage, the menu down the left side has an entry for 'subgroup'. Jack

James, appreciate it. You've got it. I guess I declined to join it when the sub-group talk first came up. Jack

James, I looked myself and I think you are correct. Interestingly though, it is not affiliated with SRHA. This site (SRHA's) says it is for history and modeling, so we need some clarification of polic

No need for apologies. There is another Southern Railway group not affiliated with SRHA which discusses both history and modeling. It seems like the home page of this group should have a link to the s

James, I am glad that you gave it a try. However, this is the main group which is supposedly reserved for history with modeling going on a subgroup, but how do you access the subgroup? Jack

How do you find the sub-group? Jack
