I figured that RS3s would be used for this in the 1970s, and here's a picture of the Thomasville Local in October of 1970. RailPictures.Net Photo: SOU 2138 Southern Railway Alco RS-3 at High Point, No

I liked the stuff in the recent Ties magazine about the Hickory freight station. I hadn't ever seen pictures of this before. One of the pictures was taken in 1973, which was about the time that the So

Ike; You just made my day! :) I model the S line (just the section between Salisbury and Morganton) and am greatly anticipating this book. I'd love to come to Chattanooga and help out, but this little

I'm modeling that line, but just the Spencer to Clinchcross portion. I've found the "Business Tracks and Stations Not Shown in Station Columns" in the employee timetable to be very helpful. Also, look
