Old Abbeville Depot 1

We rode up to Abbeville to shoot Norfolk Southern's S&A heritage unit leading CSX Train Q614. The unit was tied down and empty and no word on when the next crew would be called. So we got a few shots, turned around and headed for home.

Abbeville Depot
Posted February 5, 2021, by Ann Helms (alhelmssc [at] gmail [dot] com)

I was very disappointed to find out this depot was torn down. I was in Abbeville briefly in 2008 and spent a few minutes at the depot taking pictures. Here are some of the images I have. I also included an image I found of the depot in the 1940s. Thank you.
