South End of Double Track |
| Description: |
This is the south end of the 3.4 mile double track from Hoffman to Marston. Years ago the double track ran all the way from Hamlet to Vass just north of Southern Pines. Presumably this was a crossover location at one point. If this railroad could only talk of better days with the "Silver" trains, Orange Blossum Special and SAL's "Razerback" intermodal trains. |

Old fashioned code line still rules |
| Description: |
While much of CSX's CTC routes have received upgrading to ATCS, code line still is the primary means of communication to control points along CSX's S-line. It looks as if at one point the SAL ran the code line through the tube alongside the pole and underground, but now CSX evidently just routes it through the elements. The top tier is presumably a de-energized power lines that the railroad once supplied on its own, commercial power now comes in just behind the SAL pole. |

SAL double track signal |
| Description: |
This is the tallest SAL double track signal assembly I have seen anyhere along the S line from NC to Florida. I sure would hate to be the signal maintainer working on this one! Believe it or not, this is the end of 3.4 miles of double track that extends from the north at Hoffman (S-238.3) to Marston (S-241.7). No 1 track is the jointed rail line on the right, No 2 is the welded rail to the left. |
