Flomaton, Alabama - CSX Hot Spot

One of the most fascinating small town junctions on the far flung CSX system is Flomaton in southeast Alabama.  Flomaton is just north of the Florida state line and 58 miles east of Mobile.  In this town of 1600 where CSX still has a small yard, the CSX main line from Birmingham and Montgomery joins the CSX line from Jacksonville and Pensacola.  All trackage here is former Louisville and Nashville.  The CSX main line then continues west to Mobile and on to New Orleans.  This program shows over twenty four hours of action on CSX’s M&M Subdivision between Flomaton and nearby Atmore in October 2006.  It will also show how traffic on this line has rebounded since Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the Gulf Coast and severed this line west of Mobile for nearly six months.  This program was shot only seven months after through service was restored on this line west of Mobile. 70 minutes.  The DVD on this program has the option of being watched with or without narration.
