Inbound coal train nearing the yard. Unusual for them to come into the yard.

Got before it faded and peeled. Wish I'd found it a week later.

Here it is again, the face only a mother could love leading a couple of decent looking units inbound. It was common to run all the way to the north end, then back into the yard.

"Pennyroyal" coal train, bound for the Charleston area crosses NC 38 on a bridge still lettered for a mighty fine railroad.

SB loaded train, the "Pennyroyal", as I recall, cuts through the sandhills on it's way to the Charleston, SC area.

This numbering system lasted until the advent of CSX for ex L&N 3611. L&N's hasty FL repaints didn't seem to last that long.

In the days before CSX wisely severed the old SAL north of Norlina.

Leading the SB train off the WSSB from Winston Salem. It almost always had an NW unit. I had come from CA recently and decided NC was liveable, after a trip to Hamlet.

A ex-L&N unit just after CSX struck.

Road power returns to train after droping off shuttle engine in the office car track.
