Seaboard System New Orleans (LA) bound train #415 is giving Hamlet (NC) bound train #414 a shove up the hill, out of the siding, and away from dotntown as the crew prepares to cut off "on the fly" |

In a common practice at this location during this era, the "push" is being made `gainst the cab of the eastbound train climbing away from Opelika. The crossing/interlocking with Southern Railway's Columbus-Birmingham "P" line is just to the right of the lead locomotive. The east end of the O elika siding is just beyond the interlocking |

NW and ex CR units lay over in the transfer yard at Opelika. A washout during flooding on the nearby Greenville Branch stranded equipment north of Columbus on that line, so NS had to leave units for CSX to ferry up to LaGrange on its AWP-WofA Sub, then over the Lineville to Durand. This went on for several weeks until the bridge could be repaired on the Greenville Branch. |
