Seaboard interchanged with the NS at Collier via a connecting track that ran downgrade from the north end of the yard to the NS Petersburg belt line. Heres the SBD local with cars off the NS. How about that NW mailbox?? |

Five units north |
| Description: |
There's a surprise in there too-the 4th unit is a BQ 23-7. The spot I had there at Collier was excellent-nice little pull off to park in, shaded by pines, easy to sit and have a soda and read the paper. The only drawback was that the trains often came on you so fast you could not really set up. The afternoon was not so bad-the parking area was on the west side of the tracks-but the morning was a challenge, as you could not get over to the sun side fast enough. So this is a dark side shot. So it goes. |

SCL power |
| Description: |
There was still quite a bit of SCL power running around on the Seaboard System in the mid 80s; we saw several SCL SD45s at Rocky Mount a few nights later. Here are a couple of GEs at Miami, a U18B and U23B |
