"S" Line Callahan Sub Action |
| Description: |
Northbound freight led by SBD 5739 is about to cross the Diamond at Crawford, Florida. This portion of the former Gross Cutoff remains heavily used by CSX today. It was redesignated the Callahan Sub after the line was abandoned to Gross in late 1985. Missing from this location is the unique SAL Return to Train Signal, which was very common at Seaboard Crossings with other lines. |

Everett Sub Action |
| Description: |
The Riceboro Turn is heading south on the Everett Sub at Richmond Hill, Georgia. It is the Summer of 1985. Unknown to me at this time was the decision to close the "S" Line south of Riceboro. The route is still open at this time, but not for very long. We had just missed a "Pig" Train heading south Here when we went for Burgers. (We had no Scanner at this time) Had I known about the coming abandonment of this route, I sure would have caught that Intermodal Train instead of going for Burgers!!! You wouldnt have thought this line was up for abandonment as work was going on right here. (Tie renewal) Today, the route still extends to Riceboro and is operated by a Shortline Company. The route is gone from Riceboro to just north of Kingsland, at Seals, Georgia. This was once the Racetrack of the Seaboard Air Line, but was quickly deemed surplus trackage after the SCL Merger. Amtrak ran here until late in 1979. The end was announced in 1983, as the "New" Seaboard System began a program to get rid of excess trackage. This route was one of the first to get the Ax. Not very long after this, the "S" line north of Raliegh, NC suffered the same fate. |

Everett Sub Action |
| Description: |
The Riceboro Turn is heading south on the Everett Sub at Richmond Hill, Georgia. This view looks to the south showing the recently renewed Trackwork. The CTC Signal in the distance gives a "High Green" to the south. But it would not be for much longer. The end was near for this route south of Riceboro. I had no clue either. This was the SAL's "Racetrack' to Florida!!!! The CTC remained in service for a short time after the abandonment, but was deactivated in the Summer of 1986. Signal equipment was removed in 1991. Today, the route is operated by a shortline and the track here is much deteriorated over the years since it was downgraded. |
