Southbound. The SOU heritage unit passes through Cornwell, a historic stagecoach stop near Chester, on its way south on the Southern's old R Line.

Time to Work. 15R arrives into the Lancaster & Chester yard to do some interchange work before proceeding south to Columbia on the Southern's R Line.

Finally Arriving! Due to yard congestion (I think), 15R had to wait quite awhile (and so did I) before it could proceed through town into Andrews Yard. Here, it passes over Harden Street a... (more)

Finally There. 15R crosses Whaley Street to run down the middle of Sumter Street.

Rarities. One of the once-ubiquitous NS Dash 9s leads the daily manifest 15R onto Sumter Street, this one even more unusual as one of the last surviving whiteface D9s.

Friendly Crew. The daily 15R approaches Pickens Street with a friendly conductor who is also a railfan.

Railroaders! The daily manifest from Linwood/Charlotte arrives into Columbia, moving down Sumter Street on its way to Andrews Yard.

Shortly after leaving Linwood, NS 15R highballs through the signals at the Salisbury Wye on its way to Columbia SC.

Street Running--Kinda. The daily manifest 15R arrives into town off of the Southern's R Line and heads down Sumter Street on its way to Andrews Yard.
