That line appears to be out of service. If you notice here, the plants would get plowed through if it still saw activity:

Agree on those tracks being out of service. Check out the signal with the inverted SORS in 2012: https://www.google.com/maps/@47.1850481 ... 312!8i6656
This line was a BNSF spur to a paper mill (?) that used to unload Woodchip Cars. It has been OOS For quite some time.

You could count this one as active too... and it appears Google caught someone driving around the gates.

Here's the train to the left: https://www.google.com/maps/@31.2300792 ... 312!8i6656

Amazing that Google managed to catch a train on the Dothan Sub. IIRC, outside of the locals that run along the line, there are no regular trains assigned to that line...

Also, the power is a pair of ES40DCs:
