CSX intermodal freight Auburn Georgia 3/22/2008

CSX 7386 leads an intermodal freight east through Auburn, GA towards Athens. These are the new grade crossing signals at Etheridge Road. Also visible is the even newer industrial siding built for the Boise Corp.'s new plant in Auburn.

In the distance is the signal and western turnout for the Auburn/Carl siding, while the east turnout for Palmer Yard is about a half mile to the west. It is unusual for two sidings to be so close together -- 1/2 to 3/4 mile.

LOL

Yeah, ain't much, but it's home.

And they STILL haven't put a traffic light up at that intersection by this crossing. :(

From what I recall, nobody in Barrow wanted CSX here. So much noise and such a stutter in traffic.

What year was the CSX mainline built?

[Pellaz2112]

Close to there, yep. I almost bought a house ON Harmony Grove right near Ridgeview....glad that deal fell through; it was overpriced and the house had issues. :)

[FarFromAverageJoe]

Right around Ridgeview Drive eh? That's where I'm at.

Then dont buy a house near a railroad, its pretty simple, the RR was there first. Gotta love those NIMBY idiots

I almost bought a house right up the street from that Ingles, on Autry Rd. Brand new house, one year old, never lived in.

I ended up spending a lot less and got a great house off Mt. Moriah Rd and Harmony Grove instead. :)
