    Logging Railroads in the South East (E TN)

    I can't speak for that area but here in western NC there is still alot of evidence of the logging boom that took place about 100 yrs ago. Much of what is Pisgah National Forest in this area is loaded with old grades and there are still some places with ties intact. There are bits and pieces of...

    Another Southern Rwy. sighting

    Looks even better in the sun Got some more pics today in some beautiful September sunshine. Gavin, Athearn does indeed make (or made) a model of this particular loco. I have one so I know they exist. If you are interested in a cd of the pics, let me know. There are about 20 or so shots...

    Southern Ry. sighting

    This morning at the AsheVegas (Asheville, NC) yard there was a PS 3 bay covered hopper, two 50' railbox types (one doube and one single door), a couple 60' woodchip hoppers and a 65' gondola in SOU colors. Also was what I'm pretty sure was a tunnel motor in SP colors set apart from the engine...
