Standing Rock, AL

I am looking for photographs of the CHV and AB&A/AB&C interchange at Standing Rock, Alabama. I am working a book of the CHV and I want to highlight the interchanges with other railroads.

I would also like to get a list of any passenger trains that ran over the line through Standing Rock. I have some sources on this, but need more.

I also need any photos I can get of the CG interchange at Bleeker.

Where exactly was the interchange located in relation to the present day north and south end of Standing Rock?? I live only a few miles from Standing Rock and have never noticed any signs of the CHV's old roadbed. Back in the early 90s I was able to ride the entire CHV from north of the A and WP bridge along the Chattahoochie...south to Riverview. It was a great ride (all day long) and I captured it all on video. Its something I will never forget.

Tom - by passenger trains "through" Standing Rock, I take it you mean the AB&A/C trains? If so I can help with those. Contact me off net. Larry
