Your fav. railroad

[Anonymous]

Hey Colin,

Mine is my local railroad, the shortline "Carolina Southern Railroad". Operates the ACL trackage from Mullins SC, to Chadbourn NC, then one way heads throught Tabor City NC, Loris SC, Station at Conway SC, then runs roughly 12 miles to Myrtle Beach, where the tracks end a block away from the Ocean. The Raiload Owned 72 miles of track before it purchased the line to Myrtle Beach, now currently has 84 miles of track. Owns 11 deisil engines, 7 of which are operable.

Engine 100, a GP 38?, is painted in the Companys flagship Red with a White stripe. This is the company's flgship locomotive. It was the first painted in the new company's paint scheme, and the first locomotive to pull a train into Myrtle Beach in 14 years in July 2001.

Its twin, whose number escapes me, is painted the same way. This is the engine that I was a geust on for a 100 car rock train run from the rock plant, 3 miles from the pine island drawbridge which takes the trains into Myrtle Beach, to Chadbourn.

I remember, my dad was video taping the run, and at the end he asked me if I had fun, then, I was only 4, I replied "Yes Sir, I have to go pee".

There are 2 ex Canadian National F units, also painted in the company's red with white stripe.

There is another GP 38? painted in the companys style, but pullman green, brown, and gray is substituted on this fine locomotive.

The is another GP 38 painted in the Mid Atlantic Coast Line, which operated the whole line exept the branch to Myrtle Beach, before it was purchased by the Carolina Southern.

Then there is a Waccamaw Coast Line GP9 painted in the Atalantic Coast Line Purple and Silver, and the same symbol, but the symbol and words have been changed. This line operated the Myrtle Beach Branch before it's abandondment, and its (the branch) purchase by the Carolina Southern 14 years later. In between that peiriod, the locomotive was operated, and still is, on the remainder of the line.

I like Southern Pacific. They had a big yard in Houston for many years. I grew up seeing many of their engines in southeast Texas. UP bought them out and merged and now the yard is closed. I haven't seen a SP engine in 5 years. It is all UP ,SF, BN and BNSF. No more SP.
