ARC0062
Much has changed on North Carolina's Alexander Railroad since I first visited in 2014. Business has been getting better and most of the old 85 pound rail has been replaced with new 136 pound steel. Ties have been replaced, ballast dumped and surfacing done. Today, it is a beautiful piece of railroad. Everything is superbly maintained. Here, SW1500 No. 11 takes eight covered hoppers east near Stony Point. The backhoe was being used for track work.
