Alabama Shortline Action

A couple of cars have been cut from the train, and shoved into a very short industrial spur off of the main line of the EARY (Eastern Alabama Railway) tracks in Sylacauga, AL. This is on the old southern-most leg of the L&N Mineral Belt Line that went from Gadsden, AL down through Annistion, Talladega, Sylacauga and then swung West over to Calera where it met up with the S&NA Line. Now, this line only runs between Gantts Jct. just West of downtown Sylacauga up to Bemiston just outside (South) of Talladega. Interchange partners are NS in Sylacauga and CSX in Talladega.
