- Caught this Pelzer coal train in 1989 with a interesting mix of EMD & GE power. The video starts with the coal train headed in the opposite direction (northbound) from normal loaded trains, through the former ACL yard in Spartanburg; called the Lower Yard by the local railroad personnel. The train was being detoured account a derailment on the former Clinchfield line north of Spartanburg. It had come down the old L&N to Atlanta, then up to Greenwood, SC and then headed north to Spartanburg. The second shot shows the train crossing the bridge over Fairforest Creek near Westgate Mall in Spartanburg on the former P&N. The third shot shows the train crossing New Hope Rd near I-85. The last shot shows the train headed through the former P&N yard in Greenville, SC next to the yard office.
The Santa Fe (Kodachrome) C30-7 was part of a group of units that (power short) CSX was leasing at the time.

This is the last ride for seaboard system
Great video. Very interesting to me since I worked at Lee Steam in Pelzer from 1978 to 1984,
@airRail76 Thanks, Rich! Glad you are enjoying them!
Great footage. Love the sound.
Sounds just like 1989! Awesome Greg! Loved it!!!
The old P&N line from Honea Path to Greenwood was abandoned in 1990, ending direct rail service from Greenwood to Greenville. Now rail traffic from Greenwood goes through Laurens either on the Carolina & Piedmont or the CSX to Spartanburg then back to Greenville.
Is that including Shoals Junction?
Glad you enjoyed it!

Like the Santa Fe Kodachrome, & the 2 Family Lines locomotives that are on the train.
I like the older EMD's & GE's better than the newer EMD's & GE's.
