The yard that can be seen to the south of I-16 was a CSX yard that I have been told is being operated by the Riceboro Southern but still owned by CSX. Lynnes Parkway gives a quick view of the other CSX yard . The other end can be seen from US17 further south. I have been told visitors are not allowed [ unless you know the right people]. The NS yard is north of I-16.

The NS yard is called Dillard. It doesn't seem to have a good vantage point of the yard itself although there are roads that cross the far ends of it.

Oh wow thanks for the last link, looks like lots of good info. Those two yards are the only ones I've found around town but thanks again.

One is on the former ACL and the other is on the former SAL heading south.

Wouldn't NS have their yard further north ?

Have you looked at this-

I believe the csx intermodel yard is called central junction. I am not sure of the name of the second yard but i believe it is owned by Norfolk Southern.

What is the name of these two yards ?
