SCL Caboose #883

Name	Type	Comments	Date

Randy Chassereau	General	Thanks for posting this photo. I've photographed around the Yemassee area since the 1970s. It's good to see other contributor's photos from this area. I believe this is the local freight that ran between Augusta and Port Royal heading back to Augusta, Ga. I think the curved rail line in the foreground allowed trains to turn on to what is now the CSX A line and head to Charleston. I believe the track the cab is on was removed when the line to Port Royal was removed at Yemassee. Any comments from others?	11/13/2015 9:48:41 AM

Bryan Russell	General	Randy, you are right, the train is on the (now abandoned) line from Port Royal. To the left of the caboose is the diamond across the A line, and the line in the foreground is the connection track to the A line heading towards Charleston.	1/9/2020 11:07:56 PM
