Is this the old Port Royal Railroad line being yanked up? Shame, another bike trail in the making! :(

A very sad sight Willis. I was here in November of 2010 and the track had not yet been touched. I will post these Pictures soon. In Summer 2003, I filmed the lone GP-16 returning to Port Royal at this very sopt. The line ceased operations shortly thereafter. The last train ran on the day before Thanksgiving, 2003!!!! Hugh Cain tried so hard for several years to save this line. But sadly, it was not meant to be. It sure was different in 1998, when business was booming at Port Royal and the track was being rebuilt an resurfaced.
