Can anyone confirm whether this is the SOU/SAL depot at Hampton, Florida?
Thanks, Marv Clemons

That looks like the Hampton and Branchville RR facility in Hampton, SC. Roy McLain

Don't think so, Marvin. It appears to be the restored Hampton SC H&B RR depot in Hampton.

We ran an article on Hampton, Fla in the last issue of TIES. In addition to Seaboard and Southern drawings of the interlocking plant and contracts between the two railroads controlling how the depot and interlocking was operated, there were several photos included. Here is a print from the Ben Roberts collection in the SRHA archives of the depot in April, 1958. (Copies of TIES are available from the GRAB at www.srha.net.)

Today, with the GS&F line to Palatka gone there is virtually no trace of the interlocking plant or the structures visible today. The article mentioned Hampton was where the “Florida Sunbeam” from Atlanta and points in the Midwest changed from GS&F to SAL trackage to get to Tampa and St. Pete. An article on the Sunbeam will appear in TIES shortly. Photos of the seasonal train are rather rare. If anyone has any they could let us use in the article, that would be great. (An article on Palatka is also in the works.) Ike

Congratulations, Ike, you've embarrassed me into subscribing to TIES! My check for SRHA membership will be coming forthwith.
I have some artwork and perhaps a few photos of the "Sunbeam" I'd be happy to share for your forthcoming article. I'll get back to you shortly. Best regards, Marv

Welcome to SRHA! Now that you are “official”, we need to get you to the archives to look through the Birmingham material. With multiple roads interchanging passengers and freight traffic, Birmingham has as many bi-lateral contracts as any other SR city. For example, “In the Junctions and Streets of Birmingham” could look at the contracts and maps describing how the Frisco, L&N, BS, SAL and ACL were interconnected and look to see what trackage exists today. The details of the Southern and CofG trackage, and trackage swaps, both used to get into Terminal Station are interesting by themselves. I am told quite a few of the structures still stand at Findley Yard. We have several files and drawings on that facility along with the construction of the new yard at Irondale. Grist for more Birmingham articles…. Ike PS The 2020 SRHA convention will be in Richmond. There is quite a bit of Richmond related material in the archives. We should put a Richmond article together for TIES in advance of the meet.

Rodney, if you're referring to Larry Goolby's presentation on Seaboard passenger service on the Birmingham District, that's coming up next Saturday, October 12th at 2PM at Leeds Depot.
Hope to see you there and any other closeted SAL railfans in the Southern fraternity who would like to attend. Marv
