Album Info:CSX's Columbia Subdivision is the SAL's passenger main, originally built by SAL predessesor, the Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad. Never really a freight route historically, CSX occassionally routes Florida bound coal trains over this largely under utilized subdivision. Only the portion south of Fairfax sees a heavy amount of traffic.

Mar 4th, 2006 - CSX 22 leads train N115
Title:  Mar 4th, 2006 - CSX 22 leads train N115
Description:  This train passes the southend of the short 2200 foot siding and original SAL signals at Woodford, SC. This is not unusual for the sidings to be short on this CTC line since it was never a major freight route for CSX predesesor Seaboard Air Line. SAL ran freight via Charleston and Andrews between Hamlet and Savannah.

North end of the siding
Title:  North end of the siding
Description:  This is the northend of the siding at Ulmer, SC. These signals look pretty original in silver paint a| in SAL days instead of the black paint on the upper half of the masts like most have gotten. About the only modernization is the satellite dish on the signal box.....whatever thats for and a lot of those are on this subdivision.

Old detector house with new
Title:  Old detector house with new
Description:  CSX has replaced the old SCL era detector house (as they are refered to in SCL track charts) with a Harmon#Electronics detector at MP S-433.4 between Sycamore and Fairfax, SC.
