A former Chessie unit leads a train North through Flomaton on it's
way from Mobile to Montgomery, AL. The connection to Pensacola, FL
is to the left behind the locomotive.
Eastbound
This container train bound for Pensacola is taking the lower leg of
the whye. Many through trains can be seen passing this way.
Westbound
This mixed unit train is heading West to New Orleans by way of
Mobile, AL. CSX is returning some of the engines it borrowed
from SP. A Northbound train stands waiting. The L&N style
signal is soon to be replaced with the C&O style.
Who's Railroad is This?
Through trains from New Orleans, manned by CSX crews, go as far
as Pensacola. It's sometimes difficult to tell just what railroad
you're railfanning. Now with all the mergers there should be many
more colors coming this way.
White Face
Using CSX trackage rights, this BN freight train in the white face
paint scheme (soon to be replaced with BNSF colors) is on it's way
from Pensacola to Memphis, by way of Flomaton and Atmore, AL. The
upper northbound leg of the whye is visible in the background with
C&O style signals already in place.
Up the Middle
On the North side of the yard is old coaling tower with both mains
right below. This is a great place to shoot Southbounds. Just to the
north is the former L&N Selma, AL line, now a private short line.
