There were two main industries in Palatka. Daily trains served the Paper mill and Power plant needing coal. Other smaller industries were rock and lumber. All eventually switched over to CSX and the NS was no longer needed. In the late 1990s, NS ripped up tracks thru Lake Butler, Hampton and Keystone Heights. There are "Lost Flag" websites that have pictures (before and after).
Great catches and an most high quality production!
Wonderful video. Love the view of all those tank cars at 2:00.

Nice video! How often are trains on the NS line in Lake City that used to go all the way down to Palatka?
