This was the third and final railroad crossing I recorded on March 7. Later on, I made it to the CSX Andrews Subdivision, though I would branch out to the CSX Georgetown Subdivision later on until I came back to the Andrews Sub. While progress was once again great, it wouldn't be until later during sunset that I would get to see the only freight on this line I have seen, and what makes it more rare than ever is that this part of the line is dark territory! The line from Dillon until Hamlet, NC is signalized, but south of Dillon is dark-territory, which makes it harder to get action on here, but I was lucky enough.
