Very nice shot Rick. I was informed recently that CSX is ripping all this up, I was there last week and the yard is now empty. The "Pass Track" will be extended I was told. That is the track the Jordan Spreader is on. I also saw the newly rebuilt Yemassee Depot. It is very nice!!! Love these EMD Units. I live in Hardeeville, SC...about 30 miles south of Yemassee along the same tracks. I was surprised to see C&O on the Jordan Spreader!!!! Very neat Picture...an Editor's Pick!!! I posted some of my old Pictures from the 1980s here recently. Yemassee was very different then!!

Oh yeah, this Rail Train had been down in Hardeeville picking up Rail that had been removed from the #2 Track when the new rail was installed. I had seen it working at North Hardeeville a few days earlier!!!

If you ever get a chance look at the built dates on that rail train. It was in charleston the other day and we did a break test on it and the cars are all from 1958 to 1953, The 2 flats that have the rollers on it are from the 40s.
