Chattahoochee Yard: 1955

Here's an aerial photo from 1955 of the same location I'm showing in my previous post below (click the photo for a larger image). In the center (pointing down) is the wye track. On the left is the L&N mainline heading west toward the Apalachicola River (and on to Cottondale etc.). Just above the mainline is the industry spur to Florida Gravel Co. At the east end of the yard are a few buildings representing downtown River Junction. From here the Seaboard mainline runs east to an interchange yard with the Apalachicola Northern, and then on to Tallahassee. The yard actually bends in the middle just like mine will.
