A look back and story of the old Steam Trains and Depots of the Appalachia mountains of the past. These men that worked these railroads had a hard and dangerous job at keeping them up and going. Thanks for watching. NOTE: Picture are just to tell the story and not actual pictures of the events.
One of my uncles worked for L&N in Nashville. He took my brother and I to the yard and we were watching them "build" a train consist. They were using the hump yard. Neat to watch that from the tower. RIP Uncle John.

In 2004, we toured Waycross, Georgia's Rice Hump Yard, observing from the control tower and watching as new train consists were assembled in the yard below us, as the superintendent explained the procedure for us. (Sorry about the poor Super 8 camcorder footage, but you do get the feel and sound of the experience.)
