Track switch found tampered with
Title:  Track switch found tampered with
Description:  I found this track switch in this position while checking out the action in Dothan AL. It was near the intersection of the Bayline railroad and Selma Street. After I found no rail employees on site, I called the police department thinking they may need to be watchful of area trespassers and report the tampered switch to someone with the Bayline so as to correct it. About the time the cops showed up a couple of Bayline employees came along and told me that this happens all the time in this area and that they are watchful of it. BUT, it points up why railfans sometimes get a bad reputation from other persons actions. While no responsible fan would do such a thing, this is the kind of thing that causes all of us to suffer. It also points up that seeing and reporting this kind of thing can put railfans in a respectable light and show a differance between responsible railfans and trespassers meaning to do harm.

Result of tampered switch
Title:  Result of tampered switch
Description:  Here is the result of a track switch that had been tampered with by a trespasser. Look at the points of the switch. A train arriving the yard, and not noticing the misaligned switch, would surely hit the ground. It was near the intersection of the Bayline railroad and Selma Street. After I found no rail employees on site, I called the police department thinking they may need to be watchful of area trespassers and report the tampered switch to someone with the Bayline so as to correct it. About the time the cops showed up a couple of Bayline employees came along and told me that this happens all the time in this area and that they are watchful of it.

North end of CSX yard
Title:  North end of CSX yard
Description:  We are looking at the north end of the CSX yard in Dothan as Q681 arrives and will pull through yard trackage and pass Q545 which sits on the mainline on the far right in this pic. Just over the top of the arriving diesels on Q681 is Q650 which is waiting to go north...but before they go north local A736, unseen in this photo, will leave ahead of them. Busy time indeed in Dothan.

Title:  Conrad Yelvington facility
Description:  This is all there is to the new Conrad Yelvington facility in Dothan at the present. It appears it will be a small facility as they don't have a lot of room to work with and no room for expansion. You are pretty much seeing the entire area they are developing. The CSX yard is in the background.
