Trailing through downntown
Title:  Trailing through downntown
Description:  I went to the old Southern station in downtown Greensboro, and caught a southbound purely by dumb luck. At the time, cabooses were common, and it was no surprise to see this red Southern car bringing up the rear. The Sandersville covered hoppers were common on Southern trains, as they shipped incredible quantities of clay from a quarry in Georgia.
