Pickens Railroad crosses over Hwy. 29 in Anderson, SC during the resulting rain from Hurricane Francis in Sept. 2004.
PICK 9508 is a General Electric U18B built for the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad in 1973 as SCL 334. With the formation of CSX Railroad, it became CSXT 1932. CSX later renumbered her to 9508 and placed the locomotive in Maintenance of Way Service. Pickens bought eight U18Bs to run their line in Anderson County in the late 1990s.
