Nostalgia & History > Southern station at Salisbury,NC -- Aug 75Date: 05/22/17 11:38 Southern station at Salisbury,NC -- Aug 75 Author: gcm A few shots of the Southern station.
   Date: 05/22/17 11:38 Re: Southern station at Salisbury,NC -- Aug 75 Author: gcm (4-5) The Southern Crescent and The Piedmont were still operating through here.

The lines for trains 3/4 have been plated over, too, as of earlier that month. 5/6 would be discontinued entirely the following year.
The Salisbury station was saved and renovated. It serves the Crescent and today's Piedmonts. Date: 05/22/17 14:20 Re: Southern station at Salisbury,NC -- Aug 75 Author: RodneyZona Nice shots!! Old Southern RR T&E crews were based out of Salisbury, NC and worked to and from Monroe, VA. Salisbury based brakemen worked to and from Atlanta, GA. Greenville, SC engine crews and conductors worked to and from Salisbury.

Two of them (including 6141 on the point) were repainted green in 1976 and three more a few years later. The rest of them stayed in "dirty tuxedo" until the end.
