Carolina Lily

Vintage North Carolina Finishing Company Spencer,NC

This is a video made from picture and slides. I was working on it a few years ago,but the computer crashed before I was able to edit and finish it. I wanted others to see it because some of the people in video are relatives or friends some who are no longer with us. The company was part of Fieldcrest-Cannon,and before that I believe Erlanger Mills. The company was opened in 1916 or there about and closed in 2000. It is not the greatest of video's but had request to post it

Linwood And Spencer NC 11.28.15: Turkey Shoot

Despite owning a video camera for the last 2 of my 18 years spent living in North Carolina, I did no in-state railfanning in that timeframe - yeah, I know, it's almost criminal. A chase of Southern 630 and a couple of trips to the NC Transportation Museum in the last few years have piqued my interest in correcting that oversight, so when I had a Saturday to kill while visiting family last Thanksgiving, I decided to head up to the Salisbury area to soak up a little of the local railfanning flavor.

The recommendations of a few friends led me first to CP Lee, located at the north end of Norfolk Southern's massive Linwood Yard complex. I could not see the yard, but I could definitely hear the labored exhaust of the yard jobs shuffling cuts of cars back and forth. The original Southern Railway signals still guarded the point where the yard throat joined the main line, but their replacements sat on the ground in front of them awaiting installment.

I was much too late to catch a gang of long-hood-forward tuxedoed Geeps blasting under said signals with a hot piggyback train, but there were plenty of thundering herds of Thoroughbreds to see. At 7:57, northbound intermodal hotshot 214 climbed out of the Yadkin River valley at a leisurely pace behind C44-9W 9657, SD75M 2804 (ex-BNSF, nee-ATSF), and C44-9W 9095. Amtrak's northbound Carolinian showed more hustle when it hurried by less than a minute later, led by P42 10.

I found out the hard way that southbounds could be very sneaky, as I missed Amtrak 73 at 9:24 and very nearly missed a southbound stack train 8 minutes later, led by SD70ACe 1131 and C44-9Ws 9960 and 9324. My record remained all northbound at 10:34 as C44-9W 8980, C40-8 8715, and C44-9W 9318 stormed out of the valley with stack train 218. The tail end of 218 revealed what I thought was a yard job with a long string of cars to pull, but a local railfan informed me it was actually P9R, the local to Winston-Salem. Whatever it was, the all-conventional-cab lashup was tantalizingly close and looked like something worth waiting to see. Before he could depart, however, he had to wait for southbound intermodal 217, which roared past at 10:47 behind C44-9W 9421, SD60 6617, and C44-9W 9822. With the SD60E rebuild program in full swing, the sight of the unrebuilt 6617 was most appreciated. With 217 clear P9R was finally able to get underway, and the lashup proved worth the wait indeed. Leading the way was SD40-2 1646 (ex-Norfolk & Western), followed by GP60 7110 (one of only 48 on the roster) and SD40E 6347. As the last cars marched away north, the local fans were packing up to move over to Five Row, the top of the grade out of the Yadkin valley headed towards Salisbury - Asheville-bound manifest 135 was preparing to depart Linwood, and local P61 would do the same soon after. Another local with old power? When in Rome...

I arrived at Five Row by a comfortable margin, as both 135 and P61 were still waiting to leave. In the meantime, pocket-sized hotshot 204 rushed through at 11:38 behind C44-9W 9895, ES44DC 7607, and C44-9W 9416. The 135 was first out of the gate at Linwood, making a good run at the hill behind C40-8W 8332 and C44-9Ws 9548 and 9459. In retrospect, it could be said that P61 paused for dramatic effect before its departure 45 minutes later. The first sign it was underway was a distant roar, followed by a headlight poking out from around the curve, framed under a towering column of white exhaust. If the diesel drumbeat hadn't been a dead giveaway, one could easily have been forgiven for thinking 611 or 4501 was making a freight run for the benefit of everyone gathered at the top of the hill. Sadly that was not the case, but the truth was still something to see. After a long Run-8-and-sand climb up the grade, the power finally revealed itself - B32-8 547, SD40-2 1636, SD40-2 3212, and the source of all the smoke, high-nose GP38-2 5081.

At 12:45, I got a second chance to catch the Amtrak that caught me flat-footed at CP Lee. The consist that had gone south to Charlotte as Amtrak 73 now returned north as Amtrak 74, with NCDOT F59PHI 1755 'City Of Salisbury' and F59PH 1869 'City Of Durham' leading 6 cars: baggage/lounge 'Currituck Sound' and coaches 'Carolina Lily', 'Box Turtle', 'Emerald', 'Gray Squirrel', and 'Granite'. An interesting bit of trivia - the locomotives are numbered for the years their namesake cities were incorporated. Fifteen minutes off the Amtrak's tail was northbound manifest 152, led by SD70ACe 1105, SD60 6712 (another one!), and C44-9W 9030.

The clouds had blocked the sun for the duration of my visit to Five Row, but they finally let a little more sun through at 1:30 for the last train, an unidentified southbound manifest led by SD70 2503 and C44-9Ws 9404 and 9437. Now, about those Thanksgiving leftovers...

Amtrak Cascades, Leasers, EMD’s and Foreign Power Between High Point & Spencer NC and Back 9/20/2018

A lot of variety on NS’s Danville District starting from High Point and working our way back from Lexington and Thomasville. First, we see NS 194 passing through High Point with an ET44AC and a pair of D9-44CW’s. We then move down to Thomasville for the rest of the morning where we see NS 195, NS 290 running long hood forward, NS 214 with a trio of UP units for power, & leased Amtrak Cascades F59PHI #470 carrying up the rear of Amtrak 75. As a heads up from a friend at the N.C. Transportation Museum we then moved to catch the museum train as it made its afternoon run. At the South End of the NCTM, we see the Southern GP30 #2601 north up its 567D3 Prime Mover to clean out the turbocharger. Next, after grabbing lunch in Salisbury we work our way back up to CP Maybelle just south of downtown Lexington. At Maybelle, we catch the afternoon parade of intermodal and Amtrak northbounds with a pair of AC44C6M’s on 212, a UP ES44AC leading 204 and Amtrak Cascades F5PHI #470 now leading Amtrak 76. After the northbound parade, NS 13R heads south with a former Santa Fe SD75M 2nd out in the consist. After 13R counterpart 12R headed north with the same power from 194 followed by a meet between 352 and 18M both with SD70M-2 leaders. We follow 352 up to High Point and get an overhead shot of him, followed by NS 159 with a pair of D9-44CW’s. With night falling we see the arrival and departure of Amtrak 79 and a lat running 36Q with Canadian Pacific power.

Last Amtrak Trains to Call On The Former Southern Railway Depot in Raleigh NC 7/9/2018

With an opening date finally set in stone for the new Raleigh Union Station for July 10th, I spent the 9th filming the last trains to arrive and depart from the former Southern Railway depot. The Southern Railway station at Cabarrus Street was built in 1950 after the Southern decided to stop serving the original Raleigh Union Station on the corner of Dawson & Martin Streets that was built by the Raleigh & Gaston in 1890. The depot served Southern Railway passengers on trains such as the Carolina Special from 1950 to April of 1964 when trains 13 and 16 between Greensboro and Goldsboro were discontinued. This left Raleigh only being served by one Railroad the Seaboard with their station located on Semart Drive. The Southern station was later used for storage by both the Southern and later Norfolk Southern till 1985 when the Silver Star was rerouted following abandonment the S-Line between Norlina and Petersburg. For 30 plus years the depot was used Amtrak’s Silver Star and later the Carolinian and Piedmont. Ridership grew over the years making it 2nd busiest station in the state (150,919 passengers in 2017). Because of increasing passenger numbers the NCDOT, Amtrak, & City of Raleigh in 2010 embarked on an ambitious project to turn the Dillon Supply warehouse into a multi-modal Union Station. The design was completed in 2014 with construction starting in January of 2016. The building was dedicated in April of 2018m while finish touches were carried out for the public opening on the 10th of July. Unfortunately apart of the plan for RUS was the demolition of the former Southern Railway depot to make room for track realignments for a freight bypass and for the track two of RUS. The Southern Depot was demolished in Late July of 2018 after 68 years of service for the Southern, Norfolk Southern and Amtrak. In this video, we see the final arrivals and departures of Amtrak’s and NCDOT’s Piedmont Service, Carolinian, and Silver Star, with the final train #78 arriving into Raleigh at 10:11 that evening.

Amtrak Odds & Ends on NS's Raleigh District With CCU Testing & The American View March/April 2019

A few odds and ends on NS’s Raleigh District in Efland & Mebane NC. Starting out in Mebane we spend an evening at 4th St where we see the usual afternoon Piedmont, NS 349 with a UP ES44AC 3rd out and Amtrak’s Carolinian. The next afternoon we catch Amtrak 76 passing through the small town of Efland with Amtrak’s Viewliner Inspection car American View bringing up the markers. In our last clip at CP Isom, we see the NCDOT doing PTC testing on one of their five new cab cars. The NCDOT did three late night of tests between Raleigh & Greensboro, putting the test train into emergency braking to test the PTC equipment on the Cab Control Units or CCU’s as the NCDOT has designated them. I was able to grab a quick shot of one of the reverse moves between Mebane to Hillsborough so they could gain speed to do another test westbound.
