Bit of a contrast here
Title:  Bit of a contrast here
Description:  Seen here would be one of SCL's biggest and smallest. This photo seems to show the progression of motive power from the days of small switchers to the current time of creating 3600 horsepower beasts such as the SD45-2 seen here. Update on the switcher from SCL Historian Warren Calloway: SCL 102 is a Baldwin switcher, repowered with an EMD engine! (Thanks Warren)

Depot
Title:  Depot
Description:  I guess calling this the "old" depot at Saffold GA would not be entirely accurate. This depot was built in the early 1960's when the paper mill was built at Cedar Springs and Saffold became the junction point between the ACL and the CIRR which served the paper mill. Behind me is the wye which leads to the joint CIRR/ACL yard. We are looking toward Alabama in this photo. Note the train order boards in this photo.
