Anyone know the story behind what appears to be this old SP line?

Not sure... but I followed that line for awhile until it went back into service and found a crossing with... ASC E-BELLS! And on both signals!
Well, :Censored:

And they have a shitty pave-over job as well.

Interesting how the crossing still looks likes that, considering SunRail owns it.

Remains of some Railroad Tracks in Carlisle, Ohio. Not much to be known about this abandoned railroad nowadays...

Just a former industrial spur that served this industry at one point. Nothing really much to know...

Some disused crossings in Houston, TX (they appeared to have still been in service in 2007). Plenty of 8-inch Safetran signals too!

The first one listed has since been removed, but the others are likely still intact.

Looks like this line went on for quite a bit. The line appears to end in Germantown. Looks like it used to go farther.
