night. But about 8:00 the rain moved out and we decided to head back downtown to attempt a night shot in the street. We had no idea if a train was coming, but we figured we’d give it until 11:30 or so.


This turned out to be highly entertaining.


First, we got a visit from a local police officer who was the low man on the totem pole and wasn’t assigned a regular police car — he had a glorified golf cart. He was friendly and we had a good conversation. He lamented that whenever there was a call for all avail- able units, he’d zip to the scene of the crime in his golf cart, only to find that the regular cars had beaten him there by several min- utes and all the fun was already over. After he left, we had a long visit from a homeless man who told us all about Augusta and James Brown and other interesting tidbits. About 11:00 we heard on the scanner a northbound train working the Norfolk Southern yard just south of the street run- ning. This meant a train was indeed coming and also meant our 11:30 curfew was no longer valid. We set up our shot at the Blue Horse Cafe (now closed, as the homeless man explained to us, due to a dispute be- tween the cafe and the state office building that owns the parking lot next to the cafe — apparently the state folks didn’t appreciate what the cafe’s patrons were doing to the lot at night). At 1:15 a.m. our train showed up. The next day the sun was out, so we decid- ed to do the street running again. We got there at 9:00 once again and the first train we got was a northbound CSX train swing- ing briefly onto the A&S down by the freight house.


Then came the bad news. We heard train SWITCH LIST

155 in the yard ready to go south. It had gone down the street earlier in the morning and we missed it. We also heard train 191 come to a stop on the north side of the bridge. At least we’ll get that one! Well, he sat for almost two hours, then finally came into Augusta. Since this was our only train and I had two locations I wanted to shoot, we used 5th Street to motor southward ahead of the train, coming out at the south end of the street running. That wrapped up our shoot- ing on the Augusta & Summerville, a rail- road I had never heard about until I started doing a little research. —S.B.


Stockton Slide & Pizza Party


Once again R&R and the National Railway Historical Society will be teaming up on Winterail Eve for the annual Stockton Slide & Pizza Party. The date is Friday, March 7, 2014, and the location is the Scottish Rite Center (the same venue as Winterail the fol- lowing day). The Slide & Pizza Party is a more informal show than Winterail, sort of a “bring a tray of slides” night where you’ll see some traditional talkies (both slides and dig- ital) as well as multi-media shows and maybe a video or two. You can be a part of the entertainment at the party. If you have a show to share, con- tact me at editor@railfan.com or via phone at 973/383-3355. We do request that you sign up in advance to show, because there usually aren’t any spots available for walk- up shows that day. As far as attending the show, admission is $10 at the door and includes pizza and soft drinks (while supplies last —one of my chal-
