CSX Q492 Ashepoo SC 1-3-14
I'd say you can't get a consist like this anymore but CSX has reactivated several C40-8ws.
But what you can't get anymore is this shot. After years of dormancy the counterweight drawspan on this bridge in Ashepoo, SC has been removed. I noticed cranes around it a few months ago when driving on US 17 to Charleston and then in a more recent pass saw it was completely gone. The bascule lift span in Rantowles, SC received the same treatment a couple of years ago.
Slowly but surely these relics of bygone railroads are also disappearing.
This is stalwart A-line Waycross-Hamlet, NC manifest Q492, long before someone got a big bonus for adopting a CN-like train symbol scheme. The train still exists as M492 but its endpoint seems to change every few months. I believe it's Florence, SC at present.
