In 2007 I was on a 42" pipeline lay across Georgia. The line ran from Point Wentworth ,Georgia to Anderson South Carolina. Somewhere around Washington or Thomson Georgia we were passing through some virgin timber and we came across a small stretch of railroad. My curosity got the best of me one day and after work I started walking the line. About a mile from where I started I came across an abandonded luxury rail car. You could tell at one time this was the berries. It had very ornate wood carving and tin ceiling in it. Probably belonged to some rich railroader. Looked to be late 1800's. I have pictures of it somewhere and I'll get the kids to post. I have ran across lots of oddities laying lines across the U.S. I love anything old and historic. I have thousands of pictures of old abandoned homes, service stations,general stores ,movie theaters, firehouses, old school houses,walk in movie theaters,battlefields and just old homesteds. I love "Americana". I was on the east coast for 5 years straight and loved the country and the people. Only place I have ever been people didn't laugh at how I talked, they talked just like me! The United States is a beautiful country get out and see it!
