Old depot
Title:  Old depot
Description:  This is a street side view of the old ACL/SCL depot in Headland AL. The progressive and forward thinking leadership during the 1980's saw no reason to try and obtain this depot and it was torn down. The site has remained empty to this day and a revitalization plan for downtown Headland calls for building on this site (you ready for this???).....a replica depot!!!! Nice, but saving the original one would have been much better.

Train order signal at the old ACL-SCL depot
Title:  Train order signal at the old ACL-SCL depot
Description:  This is a close up of the train order signal at the old ACL-SCL depot in Headland AL. Rather than have blades that raised up and down, this entire mast would turn thereby either indicating proceed or stop. The pole extended down into the train order operators office where he could turn it based on whether he had train orders for a train or not.

Old ACL/SCL depot
Title:  Old ACL/SCL depot
Description:  This is a track side view of the old ACL/SCL depot in Headland AL. Note the train order board. I have a close up photo of this and further explanation. The progressive and forward thinking leadership during the 1980's saw no reason to try and obtain this depot and it was torn down. The site has remained empty to this day and a revitalization plan for downtown Headland calls for building on this site (you ready for this???).....a replica depot!!!!
