Old piggyback area         
A northbound passes the old piggyback area at Dothan as they make their way to the yard. The old ACL passenger station is directly behind me. SCL exited the piggyback business in Dothan in the mid 1980's and for a while the H&S railroad operated a ramp on the west side of Dothan. This lasted about a year and when it closed brought about an end to intermodal activity in Dothan except for something passing through.

Bernie Feltman General Another amazing photo, Bryan. I always thought the ramp used the platform you are standing on. This is exactly why I love, and prefer, older photos 11/28/2010 11:55:02 AM
Charles Burgess General Nice! We had the same thing in Pelham, GA on the ex-ACL Albany-Thomasville line! 11/29/2010 9:11:23 AM
