AGR in Florida

Post by Crossingman18 »

Its come a sight that the Alabama Gulf Coast Railway short line over in Cantonment and Pensacola have upgraded all their old incandescent lights to Union Pacific brand LED's, but haven't gone over to the Mobile, Chickasaw, and Saraland area yet, but then again, the AGR line in Alabama runs parallelle with Norfolk Southern for a good ways. I'll take new pics for the website soon. :TUP1:

Is the teardrop bell on Jack's Branch Road still in service, just out of curiosity?

Just checked the crossing at Jacks Branch Rd and the teardrop is still in tact! Also brand new UP LEDs are installed in all 6 pairs of 12X20 lights. It looks really good.

Does AGR run in Port St. Joe, FL? I Vacation down there almost every summer and they have a few railroad crossings down there.
They/Them for me, please.

Negative. The rails end in downtown Pensacola. The AGR runs north through Alabama and the other end of the line ends in Mobile at Sibert Yard. It doesn't even come close to Port St. Joe Fl

I wonder who owns those line(s) then... :Confused:

You could always pull up an FRA inventory report :Smile: those might not be completely accurate though, but they could at least hint
