Big business for the boats

Business on the Pickens Railroad Belton line has picked up immensely in recent years. The Pickens only serves one customer on their Belton line but bridges traffic from CSX to the industries in Anderson keep both the Greenville Western and Pickens busy. The railroad has recently invested significant money in the infrastructure and the worn out stick rail and rotten ties have been entirely replaced. The trains nowdays typically rate two U18Bs, one bridge still presumably keeps the B40-8s confined to the Anderson line. Here an afternoon Belton turn heads west on the outskirts of Anderson.
