L&N U30C 1571, Marietta, GA Elizabeth rs
It's August in 1976 and we're in a town that doesn't exist anymore. The location is Elizabeth, GA and we're staring at a L&N U30C on the point of a coal train going nowhere. He's pulled down to our location, which I believe was on a bridge. The street might actually be US 41, which is like a "mother road" to me. The sign on the signal bungalow identifies the spot as Elizabeth, a town which lost its charter in 1995, mainly because even though it was incorporated, the town never elected any officials and never performed any civc functions. Today, the town is completely within the city limits of Marietta. As for the railroad, the tracks are still in use, though everything looks to be reconfigured. The neat U30C lasted long enough to be on CSX's roster, but today, it doesn't exist, either. You think it might be in Elizabeth??? After 46 years, who knows for sure?
