Seaboard Coast Line M-6 caboose #01117, trailing WofA train #214, about to cross Southern Railway "P" line          
The flagman has lined the east end of the siding and has run to catch up on the moving caboose. The brakeman dropped lit fusees on either side of the train as a warning to potential Southern Railway trains approaching on the conflicting route. In the background is the former Central of Georgia station, still actively manned three shifts per day by an operator
