Description: |
Old L&N main line (now abandoned) crossing over the GM&O Warrior Branch (now Alabama Southern Railroad) in East Tuscaloosa. Photo is facing toward the active Warrior River industrial area, with Tuscaloosa to the left on L&N, and Brookwood to right on L&N. The L&N line to the left, was last used possibly in 1994 by CSX and/or KCS, just prior to KCS connecting the Warrior Branch to the L&N behind the photographer and to the right. This gave KCS a seamless route to CSX/Brookwood. |
