The Pickens Railway Belton Job, powered by a pair of classic U18Bs, travels through the long abandoned Southern Railway station below downtown Anderson, South Carolina. The station opened in the 1910s, with a depot located at street level and a platform at track level. Operations ceased in 1945, and the city has seemingly forgotten about the old station. Parking lots and other buildings have since covered the tracks, and the only people that seem to inhabit the tunnel these days are the homeless.
Pickens Railway U18B #9500 passes the old Southern Railway depot in the tunnels beneath downtown Anderson, South Carolina. The station opened in the 1910s with the actual depot building located along Main Street. Passengers would walk through those blue double doors and down a staircase (now removed) to the platform to board their train. Operations ceased in 1945 and the station has been left rotting ever since. Pretty neat history sitting beneath the streets of Anderson.
Pickens Railroad GE U18B 9508 brings a short train out of Anderson, SC enroute to the Greenville & Western interchange in Belton. They are part of the old Greenville & Columbia Railroad which they took over from Norfolk Southern in the early 2000s.
PICK 9508 is a General Electric U18B built for the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad in 1973 as SCL 334. With the formation of CSX Railroad, it became CSXT 1932. CSX later renumbered her to 9508 and placed the locomotive in Maintenance of Way Service. Pickens bought eight U18Bs to run their new lines in Anderson County.

Seaboard Coast Line “Baby boat” 257 moves a cut of pulpwood around the yard in Hamlet, North Carolina. SCL owned a majority of the U18B production, purchasing 105 of 163 units built. The U18B was the only domestic locomotive to be powered by the 8 cylinder FDL engine.
In 2006, CSXT #2419 and slug is at the north end of the Hamlet, North Carolina yard between switching moves in the expansive yard. She was built as Louisville & Nashville #1266 before becoming Seaboard Coast Line, same number. Once CSX was formed, it was initially CSXT 8170. She worked Hamlet Yard for years in the hump yard. I am not aware of her current disposition.
Pickens crew runs light into the Greenville & Western yard to pick up one ATW-lettered box car. They brought a healthy sized tran down from Anderson which they wil leave on the own main line for the GWRL to pick up for CSX.
Three Buckingham Branch locomotives congregate in Dowell, Virginia on a brisk winter day in February 2006. BB 2 is a rebuilt GP16 which was originally built in 1950 as Seaboard Airline (SAL) EMD GP7 1732, to Seaboard Coast Line 912 before being rebuilt to Seaboard System (SBD) GP16 4976 to CSXT 1857.

CSX got their money’s worth out of CSXT 8060. Railroaders knew the value of the simpler EMDs from this era in yard and local service when both EMD and GE built only microprocessor controlled road locomotives. Built for the Seaboard Coast Line in the summer of 1979, this SD40-2 continues to serve in its original form more than 40 years later. It sits with the knife switch closed in the Selkirk inspection line wash bay during regular maintenance.
Pickens Railway U18B 9502 sits in Laurinburg, North Carolina in 2007 shortly after being painted. The railroad took delivery of eight former CSX U18Bs to run their raillines in Anderson, South Carolina. For a time, this locomotive was often found offline working grain elevators or other industry before finally being sent back to home rails.
Pickens Railway switches out the interchange with Norfolk Southern in downtown Anderson, South Carolina on a hit August day in 2020.
Pickens U18B #9504 leads a short train over Highway 29 heading toward th downtown interchange with Norfolk Southern Railway in 2005. I've worked on tis shot several times over the last seventeen years, but was never happy with the final product until now. I accidentally underexposed it and had trouble bringing out details of the trucks until I used the BeFunky online site in Julyy, 2022.
Pickens 9504 was built in 1973 as Seaboard Coast Line 328. Upon the formation of CSX, it became CSXT 1926 and then was put into MoW service as CSXT 9504 and painted orange. It was sold to Pickens in the late 1990s and later repainted orange.
A pair of Pickens Railway’s elusive U18Bs lug a massive cut of cars from the Greenville & Western interchange through downtown Anderson, SC. While not in frame, a crew was onboard a former CSX B20-8 that was positioned was in the middle of the consist as well.
On November 9, 2016, I caught L&C Train 14 approaching West Manor Street in Lancaster which was near where I lived at the time. The issue was that I discovered my battery in my Canon 60D was dead, so I resorted to using my son's Sony DSC-F828.
L&C #2268 was leading. It was built in 1967 as Seaboard GP40 #679. CSX later sold it to FURX where it was rebuilt to GP38M-2 specifications. Gulf & Ohio Railways bought it from FURX and assigned it to the Yadkin Valley Railroad and later to the L&C.
A four axle duo sits at the former Seaboard yard in Cayce, South Carolina in 2008 with former Seaboard Coast Line GP38-2 6062 on point ahead of an old General Elctric Dash 7 locomotive.
To see old power still in their colors. I'll eventually get around to posting the other one like this as soon as I can find the time. Thanks to t s for her help with this!

This dogwood tree, a half subject of a few of my photos, is striving toward blooms in this March, 2010 shot while CSX #2521 works to put together an outgoing train at the Cayce Terminal in South Carolina.
#2521 was built by EMD in 1973 for the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad as GP38-2 #521. Some time after tis shot was made, CSX rebuilt her into a GP38-3 and renumbered her #2052.
A CSX local works CSI Steel off of Rosewood Drive in Columbia, South Carolina with MP15AC 1159. It was built as Seaboard Coast Line 4099 in 1977, to Seaboard System, same number and then CSXT 1159. Sometime after this shot was made it was sold to GATX Rail Locomotive Group and became GMTX 340.

A CSX crew is at work on CSXT 6483 in their Cayce Yard in South Carolina in late September 2024. CSXT 6483 was built for Seaboard Coast Line in 1980 as SCL 6621, to Seaboard System (SBD) 6621, to CSXT 6387 before CSX renumbered it 6483.
FEC #716 leads an Asplundh weed spray train past West Palm Beach towards Miami. This train sprays the right of way with weedkiller to fight off excess vegetation that can damage the track bed, obstruct signs, or create a hazard for railroad personnel. The boxcar at the end of the train still wears an SCL/L&N Family Lines emblem.

CSX GE B36-7 #5826 is shown here at the head of a train in Cayce, South Carolina in late 2008. The Dash 7s were favorite of many rail fans and railroad photographers, but the people who actually ran the locomotives did not always agree. It wasn't long after this shot that all of the older GEs were retired from CSX.
This motor was built in March, 1985 as Seaboard System, same number.
On July 7, 2014, my son and I caught the Pickens Railway Belton Job enroute to the other end of the line in Gluck to interchange cars with the Anderson Job using two classic GE U18Bs built for Seaboard Coast Line in the early 70s. Ten years later, these vintage locomotives are still in operation for the South Carolina railroad.

A Seaboard Air Line locomotive and caboose have been on display in Hamlet, North Carolina for more than thirty years. I made this photograph at Seaboard Days on October 26, 2013.
SAL 1114 is an EMD SDP35 built in 1964 for Seaboard Air Line, same number. She then became Seaboard Coast Line (SCL) 615 and finally CSXT 4595. She was then retired and placed on display in Hamlet in original paint and number.
The caboose was originally built in 1924 and rebuilt in 1954.
Zooming in on the old bridge, it is easy to see that although the structure has been denied to locals for fishing and recreation, nature still finds uses for the old place...
