Neat video! Good gawd those P-42’s are louuuuud and smoke like hell, too... Think about it... They’re as old as the power NRPC inherited in ‘71 and verrrrrry tired — NOT tier 4 compliant and way too much diesel exhaust fumes to inhale on regular basis. They will need to be replaced soon! Love your video ( but first thought is Alabama, not North Carolina), but then again Selma, Alabama has a branchline going through town— NO Amtrak.

Enjoyed watching, especially since I once visited Selma with NO train activity. Passenger boarding seemed to be a time consuming process.

Awesome video

Selma, N.C. was a railroad town from the start, although ACL didn't come through town until the Contentnea-Pee Dee cutoff was built in 1885.

Selma, Ala., from pre-railroad years, is the older and larger of the two. Ironically it was founded and named by a North Carolinian. Last passenger train was Southern's Goldenrod between Birmingham and Mobile, discontinued in 1959.
