Retired C&O and N&W Geeps and a SOU SW in 1989
Author: Gateway97

During a trip to the area of Hamlet, NC in 1989, I came upon these retired Pocahontas warriors (I believe near Hamlet). Anyone know what railroad these went to?

Photos at Star, NC perhaps?

Google is your friend. There are photos of ACWR ex-NW 699 including as a derelict in 2002.

If it's Star, I can't make out where the wye is. Doesn't look like what's there today, given Alt 220 (old US 220) bisecting the wye.

I keep wondering if it's Aberdeen, on the west side of the CSX Aberdeen Subdivision, with the wye going to the ACWR branch that goes up to Star, but I'm not sure.
