Norfolk Southern train No. 191 heads southdown 6th Street in Augusta, Ga., on December 14, 2013, passing Hildebrant’s deli and restaurant (above). While all the rail traffic on 6th Street is NS trains, the railroad is actually the short Augusta & Summerville. At about 1:15 on the morning of December 15 a northbound train passed the Blue Horse Cafe (below).
SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE OUT shooting photos you think you know what you are looking at, only to discover there was an in- teresting factoid buried beneath the surface. Such was the case when I made a stop on a recent road trip. My mother decided she wanted to snowbird again this year in Flori- da, and she wanted to fly down. But she also wanted her car down there with her and needed someone to drive it. Road trip! My brother Bruce and I set out from New
Jersey a few days before Mom got on the plane so we could do some railfanning on the way down. One of our stops was in Augusta, Ga., where Norfolk Southern runs right down the middle of 6th Street. When I got
back from Florida and started doing some research, I pulled out a map to check the track configuration in Augusta and was sur- prised that, while the trains belonged to NS, it wasn’t NS trackage I was shooting. I was actually shooting the Augusta & Sum- merville. The Augusta & Summerville was char- tered in 1866, but by 1900 it was jointly owned by the Southern Railway, the Central of Georgia, the Charleston & Western Car- olina and the Georgia Railroad. Today it is still jointly owned by the successors of these railroads, CSX Transportation and NS. The railroad is only about three miles long, but its “main line” rolls right down 6th Street in
