Southern Railway SD35 #3000 was built September 1965 and later became Norfolk Southern #3000. 13 years after Atlantic Coast Line ceased to exist, the "ACL RR" continues to live on this bridge. Interestingly, in 2010, this bridge still looks like this!!

David T Moore General Love your shot Bernie. The paint date on the bridge is 9/29/1965. 7/4/2009 11:37:15 AM
Ken Roble General The trailers behind the locos is now a distant memory since they trans load trailers in Columbus any more. Bernie would you say the Southern was a busier road then than the NS now? 7/10/2009 7:28:03 PM
Bryan Smith General As to the trailers, #138 from Columbus was scheduled to arrive Macon in time to have the pigs set over on #230 that came up from Jax and arrived Macon about the same time as #138. They then went north to Atlanta for forwarding to their final destinations. Southern made a genuine effort to keep the pigs moving, even from the smaller ramps such as Columbus. 7/19/2009 8:33:44 AM
