Large Scale Central

Railfaning Hamlet, NC

There are a good deal of trains running through the Diamond at Hamlet.

Here is a road slug. Traction motors, no diesel power plant.

The square hatches in the foreground run the length of the station track. Faded label…potable water. Used to fill the passenger trains back in the day. You can see an electrical outlet to hook up the cars at the edge of the photo. There were several dozen of both.

Replacing old ties.

A remote control loco in the Yard.

The Diesel facility at Hamlet yard.

Norfolk Southern fueling at the CSX yard.

Here is a Google view of the old yard at Hamlet. Used to have a turntable and roundhouse. Now just a few storage tracks remaining.
