The cement or covered hoppers are there for storage. They still service 84 lumber occasionally. The trestle bridgre just before 84 lumber needs work. The CS crews use a backhoe to pullthe car across after that point to 84 lumber. Its my understanding now that the bridge will soon be repaired. In red hill Tank cars are being filled with old cooking grease to be processed inti bio Diesel.. Of course rocks are still being brought to the pine island which you can see from highway 31.

Nice! I'm in Conway, SC right now. I believe there is an industry in Myrtle by the cement (or rock, one if them) that uses tank cars, but beyond that, the line is used for storage, which is to bad. I don't even think the 84 lumber is used anymore.

Good job.

Yes I grew up on this line. The station and tracks are still in existence in Myrtle Beach. Just restored the Depot a few years ago. This the typical train that came in to Myrtle Beach in the early 50's.

Nice modeling work on the train Lawbench191! And you did a lot of research to authentically model the train!
