AFAIK from some FRA research, this was the Duke branchline that only saw one train per day. I'd say it must've been owned by the SOU until NS absorbed them in 1990.

The SOU was part of NS from when NS began in 1982. In fact, it's where the word Southern comes from in the name of the current Norfolk Southern.

old signals

That one's still used, based on how shiny the tracks are and the covered hoppers at the grain elevator right there:
