Description
Greenville & Western Railway crew has a healthy sized freight just outside of Belton, SC with the GRWL GP9 #3752 leading the Aiken Railway GP30 #4201. The AIKR 4201 will soon be sent to home rails. The railroad is in the Christmas spirit with a wreathe placed on the front of the lead engine.
The Greenville & Western Railway owns and operates just under 13 miles of former CSX track in Anderson, SC. It is former Piedmont & Northern track (later Seaboard Coast Line) that was up for abandonment in 2006 when it was bought by the Western Carolina Railway. The Greenville & Western connects the small villages of Belton, Cheddar, Williamston and Pelzer and also gives the Pickens Railroad a second connection to a Class 1 carrier, CSX, in Pelzer.
