Eastern Railroad Discussion > Laurinburg Southern & Carolina Southern RR's Questions?

Will be on vacation to Southern NC and Myrtle Beach area's in a couple weeks and was wondering how the operations are going on these rr's today. What days do the run and call times and frequencies for the scanner.

Thanks all.

Per my expirience the Laurinburg & Southern gets started sometime in the morning, 8 a.m. or so. Sometimes they leave their power at the Murphy-Brown Feed Mill. (Corky is the receptionist and Miles is the plant manager.) Other times it is at the engine house just a few miles away. They roster three black G&O SW1500s, but they still have a few 70 tonners, end cabs and an Alco or two around in various stages of decay. (Johnson Rail Service U18B #9502 was there last time I was, too.)

The Carolina Southern is another matter. I've seen them head out from Conway, Mullins or Chadbourne in the morning. Others may be able to help you more than I can. Also try the Carolina Rails Yahoo Group which I moderate for others that may not see this message here.
