Saw my first active diamond this weekend, in fact. It's in Calera, Alabama, (north of Montgomery and south of Birmingham.) As near as I can tell, CSX owns the right of way. The north south line runs from Montgomery to Birmingham. I don't know where the east west line runs to, although the train museum curators nearby told me that part of it goes to a Vulcan plant nearby. The signals for the east west branch were about a tenth of a mile away from the diamond and set to red. <br /> <br />By the way, the local museum (the Heart of Dixie rail museum) has a nice excusion run... I got a cab ride in a 50 year old ex Army switcher! <br /> <br />Erik
