Former SAL at Bladen, Georgia         
CSX local makes the turn at Bladen, Georgia off the former Everett Sub for a quick run to Waycross via the Brunswick Sub. The end is near for the former SAL south of Bladen to Kingsland. This would be the last Train I would see operating here. It is October 28, 1989. My next visit in march 1990 would find the tracks being torn up. CSX wasted no time in removing the line, but later regretted the decision. The Train still operates today out of Waycross via the Jesup/Nahunta Sub. The cut Track here was the former siding at Bladen.

Atlanta Rails General Thanks for posting! Some rare shots of the old S-Line, sad seeing it in this shape, but even worse that its totally gone now. 4/11/2011 7:20:37 PM
Jared Blocker General Glad you got to post the S-line pics, Eugene! It's definitely sad that a good chunk of it is gone now. Sure is sad when crossing remnants of the S-line in Townsend on our way to Florida. 6/9/2011 12:12:16 PM

Chris S General Great photo...many thanks for the history as well... 8/13/2011 11:30:31 PM
Jim Bruce General Nice Shot!!! However it's not all bad. I recently found out through this site that CSXT has plans to reactivate their old line from Yulee to Calahan, and acording to my trucker Uncle a possible reason for this is that Werner Trucking (who he used to work for), wants to build a distibution center in the North FL area. 8/16/2011 3:25:28 PM
