The "Satellite" link above is to the roundhouse footprint itself. I saved this view because there is a lot of abandoned railroading in this area. Note that North is to the right. The railyard above Court Street is the CSX/L&N yard. This yard was the mostly empty land south of Court Street.

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Gary's post It looks like that railroad and L&N were the only ones that went through Montgomery. GM&O, SAL, Central of Georgia and ACL all terminated here. 1957 Montgomery Quad @ 250,000 |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Gary's post WRoA had the classification yard that still exists further north. It looks like CoG and/or SAL may have shared these facilities with WRoA. The yard to the west was L&N. The WRoA roundhouse was gone by 1958 and traces of the L&N roundhouse are now gone. 1958 Montgomery North Quad @ 24,000 |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Gary's post There are enough remnants of the roundhouse that we can determine that the 1930 map accurately depicts the location and size of the roundhouse. 1930 Montgomery Quad @ 62,500 Ted Gregory: Very cool Dennis. I worked for CSX and I do not remember there being another yard other than the L&N yard in existence in the early 2000's. Anything that came off the ACL Bow Line from Waycross GA would also come into the L&N Yard iirc. But since then, CSX has spun off their Florida Panhandle mainline from Jax to Pensacola which forced more freight onto the Bow Line which means they had to come up from Mobile via Flomaton and Montgomery to get to Waycross. In other words, additional Bow Line traffic may have required reactivation a yard. William Davis can you shed any light on CSX Yards in Montgomery? Am I correct? |
