Allan Love Jr	General	If it is just a Siding now then why the 3rd Signal head? BNSFrailfan.	3/7/2005 8:18:28 AM

Eugene Cain	General	The siding is Sigalled!!!! Love these old SAL Signals.	10/10/2012 11:41:40 AM

Tom Dudley	General	The third signal head allows this signal to display a restricting aspect. Siding is controlled and not signaled.	11/21/2012 8:05:10 PM

Carter Buchanan	General	The most current Florence ETT I have for 2012 shows the track speed on track 1 (the diverging route) for 40mph Pass and Freight. All these signals are replaced with the standard CSX versions now, but the place is hard to get into now compared to 2005 when I was there.	4/10/2016 2:51:25 AM

South End of Double Track
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.
