This shot shows the Bayline Abbeville AL branch local headed north being led by a AN GP15-1 still in the classic AN scheme. Trailing behind the power is a long cut of chip hoppers for the chip mill in Abbeville, the life blood of this line. The rear of the train is passing over U.S. 431 in Headland. On the southbound trip, this area is a steep uphill climb and around a curve making for some good sounds of 4 axle power in notch 8. |
