A pair of Chessies passing the afternoon away |
| Description: |
at the old ACL/SCL yard in Clearwater. Even in the sad shape of the yard in 2005, it was still in better shape that it is today. Compare the track condition to that in the pictures taken in the summer of 2007 with the CSX Ballast Train. |

Pinch-a-penny |
| Description: |
One of the many chlorine cars that used to roll in to town when Pinch-a-Penny still hauled it in by rail. On a side note, the owner of Pinch-a-Penny, and former commissioner from this area, purchased the old Seaboard Air Line passenger depot, and turned it in to a very unsuccessful restaurant. It was later torn down in hopes of selling the land to developers during the most recent overdevelopment spree. |

CSX 6351, the one with thd identity crisis! One side of the cab is incorrectly labelled "SD40-2". In one of her many trips to Clearwater in 2005, I asked the crew about this mistake, and was told 6351's cab was damaged in a yard accident, and sent to Huntington to be replaced. They must not have thought the correction was necessary. |

| Title: |
Seaboard Air Line |
| Description: |
This station is a good example of the Seaboard's taste for Spanish styled buildings. The original station here was also of a Spanish-Mission style, very similar to the West Palm Beach station, complete with a turret about the ticket office. |

| Title: |
CSX 4306 |
| Description: |
For quite a while it seemed the Clearwater Sub was to be the domain of the ex-Reading Company GP39-2s. That was all we saw for almost a year. Here CSX 4306 (ex-Reading Company 3401) spends a lazy Summer afternoon at the Clearwater Crew Office. When I was younger, this site was a junction between the SCL's former Atlantic Coast Line Trilby-St. Pete main, and former SAL's Richmond, VA to St. Petersburg main. From here South, CSX uses the old ACL, and from here North, the old SAL. Nothing remains of the old crossing and connecting spurs. The lines themselves in the opposite directions are now paved over as the Pinellas Trail. |
