• 
  The entrance to the NB Georgia Welcome Center on I-95 at Exit 1.
• 
  Sign for the Georgia Welcome Center.
• 
  In 2012, I went back and started taking pictures of this MK 14 Torpedo on display at the welcome center.
• 
  Longer shot of that torpedo.
• 
  Shot of the plaque on one of the concrete brackets supporting the torpedo
• 
  The same plaque from a different angle with a better view.
• 
  An even longer shot of that torpedo, which this time shows the whole thing.
• 
  There's also an unusual Additional Parking sign for two extra car lots.
• 
  Continuing north, the trip gave me a chance for a shot of the I-95 bridges over the Turtle River.
• 
  Exit 109 sign for GA 21 and 30 in Port Wentworth, the last exit in Georgia,...
• 
  .. if you don't leave now, you'll wind up in South Carolina.
• 
  The only image I was able to get northbound in Georgia in November 2013 was the northbound off-ramp to US 17 in Richmond Hill.
• 
  Southbound was a different story. I was able to capture the southbound truck weigh station near the Welcome Center.
• 
  You could've even seen the scales from the picnic shelters at the time.
• 
  And of course with any welcome center, you have to have a welcome sign.
• 
  Not to mention a brick sign installed on the ground? Well, that's what GDOT decided to do at the time.
• 
  A view of the road from the welcome center. I used to take pride in never ending up in a northbound traffic jam, until 2021.
• 
  A formerly sunken anchor on display at the welcome center
• 
  It was discovered during construction near the Talmadge Memorial Bridge in 1994.
• 
  Like many rest areas, they indicate that I-95 is part of the Blue Star Memorial Highway.
• 
  And even though I didn't enter the Glynn County Rest Area, at least I got the sign for it.
• 
  Though I did capture the southbound I-95 weigh station in 2013, I never got the signs leading to it until November 2014
• 
  The same goes for the sign to the welcome center.
• 
  One sign tells truckers that the weigh station is open, while the one next to it tells motorists in general which radio station has tourist info.
• 
  This is the entrance ramp to the weigh station. The entrance ramp to the welcome center is up ahead.
• 
  A small tilted sign tells motorists that the next rest area is 71 miles away. That's the Glynn County Rest Area.
• 
  And this is the entrance to the southbound Georgia Welcome Center.

• 
  Dillon, South Carolina Amtrak station, as seen in 2009.
• 
  A historic plaque involving a precursor to the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad.
• 
  The four-faced station clock and thermometer in front of the station.
• 
  Mayors of Dillon on display at the train station.
• 
  The tracks at the station cross SC 34.
• 
  The former northbound Pee Dee Rest Area north of Florence, Closed by SCDOT before this pic was taken.
• 
  I've always been curiously drawn to this rest area, but I couldn't stop in to figure out why because it was closed.
• 
  Jerry's Truck Stop(Travel Center of America), off of I-95 in Manning.
• 
  Juanita M. White Crosswalk over I-95 between Exits 18 and 21.
• 
  For April 2011, I thought I'd make it my mission to get pictures of Amtrak stations in the Palmetto State. Starting with Yemassee (Amtrak station).
• 
  Eastbound view of the station from the Wall Street Railroad Crossing.
• 
  This view is south along the CSX Charleston Subdivision.
• 
  .. and this is a broader view, which shows that the station was facing major reconstruction.
• 
  Then there was Kingstree (Amtrak station), which was further away from I-95 than I thought.
• 
  Typical early 21st Century sign at the station.
• 
  These two doors look like they used to be for segregated waiting rooms.
• 
  The station house from the parking lot.
• 
  An even older sign at Kingstree... or at least an older looking one.
• 
  Like many old station houses, this too was converted into a restaurant.
• 
  I thought I'd never get back to I-95 until I saw this blinker light at US 301. Then I realized I was getting close.
• 
  My third Amtrak station for 2011 was Florence (Amtrak station)
• 
  But the former Florence Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Depot was nearby too, so I had to capture that.
• 
  Amtrak still stores their baggage carts there.
• 
  Today the old station is a medical office.
• 
  Another shot of the Amtrak station, but this time from the parking lot.
• 
  On the way back from the New York Tri-State Area, I returned to Dillon Amtrak station.
• 
  The close-up of this historic plaque tells the tale of how the Florence Railroad went through Dillon and shortened travel time for the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad.
• 
  Here's a clearer shot of the four-faced clock...
• 
  .. and thermometer at the station
• 
  Another shot of the station and one of CSX's road-rail trucks.
• 
  The other side of this plaque tells the history of Dillon itself.
• 
  This whole effort was an attempt to replace photographs that were ruined by a drug-store photo developer with others that aren't ruined.
• 
  I-95 enters South Carolina from Georgia as seen in 2012.
• 
  Former rest area near Exit 18, now a truck parking area.
• 
  In 2013 I attempted my first gallery for the northbound I-95 Welcome Center, but I had to actually get there first.
• 
  Almost there.
• 
  Finally the first pic as I enter the welcome center.
• 
  This was the main building in 2013
• 
  They also had picnic shelters between the car and truck parking lots. This is the SCDOT identification tag.
• 
  Wider shot of the picnic shelter from the car parking area,
• 
  South Carolina Welcome sign facing northbound traffic.
• 
  The same sign from a different angle.
• 
  Blue Star Memorial Highway historical marker.
• 
  Fork in the road between returning to I-95 or more car parking spaces.
• 
  Close-up shot of the signs there.
• 
  South Carolina still had state names on one of their interstate shields,
• 
  The vending machine booth is behind these recycling bins.
• 
  My first shot of the northbound Colleton County Rest Area. I've been there before, but this time I decided to pass it up.
• 
  The same went for the northbound Orangeburg County Rest Area.
• 
  On the other hand, I got this shot of the northbound bridge over Lake Marion
• 
  Exit 153 on I-95 is Honda Way, but I haven't been able to find proof of that yet.
• 
  On the way back, I grabbed some pictures of the southbound Sumter County Rest Area along I-95
• 
  Though it's just an ordinary rest area, it has been trying to upgrade itself into a welcome center.
• 
  They might think they're helping with that rustic log cabin, but they really aren't.
• 
  Nevertheless, they do have bathrooms in the main building...
• 
  .. and a separate booth for vending machines in front of the picnic tables between the car and truck parking lots.
• 
  For 2014, I thought I should capture this series of billboards in Ridgeland
• 
  Then I spotted the northbound Colleton County Rest Area
• 
  .. and sadly passed by it again.
• 
  On the way back, I managed to capture the southbound I-95 Welcome Center, but I had to get there first too.
• 
  Almost there.
• 
  Finally entering the welcome center, though I should make a cropped version with the exit gore sign.
• 
  The welcome sign can be seen from both the main road and welcome center itself.
• 
  The main building of the welcome center as of November 2014.
• 
  A Blue Star Memorial Highway plaque next to the building.
• 
  And a sign trying to get visitors to visit South Carolina State Parks.
• 
  Extra parking for cars was found in the back,...
• 
  .. however, this site was also a backyard wildlife habitat...
• 
  .. a,k,a,. a "Carolina Fence Garden."
• 
  The truck and bus parking lot can be seen from here.
• 
  Trucks and buses enter here...
• 
  .. and leave here, just before everybody else exits to I-95.
• 
  The only shot I was able to get of the former southbound Pee Dee Rest Area north of Florence. Also closed by SCDOT.
• 
  One that was still open though was the southbound Lake Marion Travel Information and Welcome Center in Santee.
• 
  I could've gone there as an excuse to get around this horse truck in front of me.
• 
  But I had to pass this one over too,
• 
  September 2015 was the year I took a detour up US 17 to the Charleston area
• 
  While I was there, I thought I'd do this pic of the US 52-78 bridge over a local street and the tracks nearby
• 
  The railroad line is the CSX Charleston Subdivision.
• 
  From there I resumed capturing pics of the Charleston Amtrak station. Only later did I find that I was on a private road.
• 
  Sign on the chain-link fence to the entrance to the parking lot of the station
• 
  The barbed-wires and the half-opened gate doesn't make this station look very inviting.
• 
  Unfortunatley the trees and the fence blocked my view of the front of the station.
• 
  I got a photo of the south end of the platform, so it was only fair that I took the north end.
• 
  I took this and the next shots from between the tracks, but I don't recommend it.
• 
  The only reason I was able to do this was because there were no trains around the area.
• 
  North of the station is this freight spur heading to the east side of the station....
• 
  .. which was for a company called Capitol Materials of Savannah. Obviously North Charleston is not the headquarters of the company.
• 
  After some cheap gas in North Charleston, I took I-26 back to I-95 and stopped at the Northbound Lake Marion Rest Area in Santee
• 
  The rest area has some picnic tables, shelters and grilles...
• 
  .. above the modest mid-century modern main building (bathrooms) along the car parking spaces.
• 
  The billboard kiosk is also mid-century modern, but is slightly less modest than the bathrooms.
• 
  It didn't draw me in the way the old Pee Dee Rest Area did, but it's still a nice place to visit.
• 
  Of course you've also got the obligatory vending machine booth.
• 
  And SCDOT's list of prohibited activities at the rest area.
• 
  I tried to get the entrance ramp to the rest area, but I should've stood in the middle of the road.
• 
  That's better. From here I got the two "Do Not Enter" signs, but the "Wrong Way" signs were too far away.
• 
  The rest area also has a "Liberty Garden," a memorial to the victims of the September 11 attacks.
• 
  Plaque for the Liberty Garden. If we only had a President who was willing to honor them by destroying the people responsible, instead of appeasing them.
• 
  The Men's bathroom at the rest area...
• 
  .. and the women's bathroom.
• 
  Across I-95 you can see a sign for the entrance to the southbound Santee rest area.
• 
  Besides the sign telling motorists what they can and can't do, there's also another telling them that it's patrolled by cops.

More to Come

• 
  Northbound CSX Freight train approaches...

• 
  Fayetteville Amtrak Station, a historic former ACL Depot.
• 
  The canopy for Fayetteville Amtrak Station.
• 
  One of many shots of Rocky Mount Amtrak Station, also a historic former ACL Depot.
• 
  Unfortunately, I think this view of the cracked asphalt next to the platform might've cost them some travelers.
• 
  The station was named in honor of Helen P. Gay, who was the first African-American woman to serve on the Rocky Mount City Council.
• 
  On display at the station,,,
• 
  .. is an old Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Business Car...
• 
  .. they called it an "Office Car," but it's really the same thing.
• 
  The former REA Express station and freight house...
• 
  ,,is now a restaurant and bus stop...
• 
  .. for both Tar River Transit, and Intercity buses (Greyhound, Trailways, etcetera)
• 
  Another former ACL car, but a "Stainless Whopper Hopper."
• 
  This is car number 500,000!
• 
  The next day I got another shot of the Helen P. Gay sign in front of the station.
• 
  I also got a shot of the green in front of the station.
• 
  Rocky Mount Firehouse Museum.
• 
  Close-up of the Rocky Mount Firehouse Museum, with some of the antique apparatus behind the front doors.
• 
  In April 2011, I captured at least one of the signs indicating the existence of the newly established Interstate 795.
• 
  On the way back down, I returned to Rocky Mount to do something I should've done in the previous year.
• 
  Capturing images of the buses of Tar River Transit.
• 
  Despite the many paratransit buses shown in this and the previous image, they do have regular buses.
• 
  And luckily one passed by before I left. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of not capturing the tornado damage in Dunn, North Carolina.
• 
  Northbound Interstate 95 just before the beginning of I-95 Business in Fayetteville. This view was in September 2012.
• 
  The ramp to the beginning of I-95 Business in Fayetteville itself.
• 
  The northbound service road along I-95 at the NC 87 interchange.
• 
  In November 2013 I snapped some pictures related to the Northbound North Carolina Welcome Center along I-95.
• 
  An unfortunately blurry shot of the entrance to the welcome center...
• 
  ..and a medium-sized sign identifying it.
• 
  Shot of the main building with a welcome sign
• 
  The vending machine cabin...
• 
  ..which is also where you find the "Cars with Trailers" parking area.
• 
  The first Interstate Business Loop 95 sign next to a US 301 sign south of Fayetteville
• 
  Another US 301-BL 95 sign tree north of the NC 59 interchange.
• 
  The intersection with Tom Starling Road. This could've easily been converted into a new interchange.
• 
  I was looking for an NRHP plaque at Fayetteville Amtrak station that year, but I never found one. So, this old pic of a local trolley will have to do.
• 
  After staying the night in Wilson, I decided to go downtown and get some pics of the Amtrak station.
• 
  The old REA Express station (now a police substation) is on the left, while the main station house is on the right.
• 
  Early morning shot from Lodge Street East.
• 
  A plaque on the station house has the opening and closing hours.
• 
  A plaque memorializing the "streetscape improvement project,,,"
• 
  ,, right in front of the station on East Nash Street...
• 
  ,,which is also where the canopy along the platform ends as East Nash crosses the tracks.
• 
  For some reason, there's a statue of a woman named "Miss Rail Rose" along the platform,
• 
  You can even see the old REA Express House behind the canopy over the platform.
• 
  Southbound in 2013 entering the Nash County Rest Area.
• 
  The split between the trucks and cars (also with trailers) parking areas.
• 
  The Vending machine booth in 2013
• 
  The main building at the rest area.
• 
  An abandoned Sprint phonebooth at the rest area.
• 
  This makes me wonder if Sprint had other plans for this phone booth before being merged into Nextel by T-Mobile
• 
  This was my first attempt to capture the Picnic Booth. I have no idea why the picture came out so dark.
• 
  I also returned to Selma Union Depot for 2013...
• 
  .. for the Art Deco baggage cart along the old Southern Railway line
• 
  As well as the more traditional cast iron baggage cart from the 19th Century,
• 
  The cast iron baggage cart is in nice shape. Perhaps the local historical society can repair the other one.
• 
  The official address to the station is in the handicapped parking lot behind the connecting tracks.

• 
  Second shot of that corner.
• 
  Pedestrian tunnel from the south parking lot between Princess Anne and Caroline Streets.
• 
  A billboard at the parking lot announces the arrival of VRE, but it has been there since 1992.
• 
  This station was originally built by the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad.
• 
  The station house across the tracks was built in 1910.
• 
  Lorton's Virginia Railway Express station on April 14, 2011.
• 
  This is not the Amtrak-Auto Train station, though.
• 
  The sign proves that. An entire neighborhood was built around it. Who says suburban sprawl is only caused by road improvements?
• 
  A sign for Woodbridge VRE station, and the parking garage
• 
  The Woodbridge Station house, plus the bus and taxi stand.
• 
  Signs for both Amtrak and Virginia Railway Express
• 
  Another shot of the parking garage...
• 
  .. and a shot of the station from US 1 across the tracks. It was raining quite hard that day.
• 
  In 2012, I spotted a bus at a rest area being delivered from Georgia...
• 
  .. to New Jersey Transit, of all places.
• 
  And it's a NABI 416.
• 
  If you're in New Jersey, and you see Bus #6214, you'll now know where it was built.
• 
  The Northbound Virginia Welcome Center on I-95 in 2013. These are the bathrooms.
• 
  The main building at the Welcome Center.
• 
  Vending machines at the welcome center.
• 
  An interesting relic at that welcome center was this 1960 VW Bus.
• 
  With an old inspection sticker from Pennsylvania...
• 
  .. and New York
• 
  The bus itself was from New Jersey.
• 
  It also has a sunroof.
• 
  Emporia's former Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Depot was on the former Petersburg Railroad.
• 
  A gazebo is also on the south side of the station.
• 
  Momentarily, I grabbed a shot of the former Virginia First National Bank building.
• 
  Handicapped ramp on the north side.
• 
  The station is the HQ for the Emporia-Greensville Chamber of Commerce.
• 
  A second shot of the historical marker at the station.
• 
  In northern Virginia again, I grabbed a pic of the Rippon Virginia Railway Express station starting with this sign at the entrance.
• 
  .. that was the parking lot entrance, though. This is the entrance to the bridge over the tracks.
• 
  Another shot of the bridge entrance, this time from a median between two parking spaces across from the loop road.
• 
  Northbound view of the tracks from the bridge.
• 
  Returning to Emporia in November 2014, where I tried to get some shots of the Village View mansion.
• 
  This view of the mansion is from US 301.
• 
  So is this view, but it includes a Virginia State Historical Marker.
• 
  But I also took another picture of a marker at the Masonic Lodge in the city....
• 
  .. as well as the Old Merchants and Farmer's Bank three lots to the north.
• 
  My primary target was the H. T. Klugel Architectural Sheet Metal Work Building on US BUS 58.
• 
  The same building from a vacant lot. It's an antique shop now.
• 
  Across from the old ACL station is the former Hotel Virginia...
• 
  That too is an antique shop..
• 
  Historical marker facing northbound US 301 on the south side of the Nottoway River.
• 
  Northbound on the old US 301 bridge over the Nottoway River which you used to be able to see from I-95.
• 
  This trip also called for more photographs of the Fredericksburg, though not for this garage and former gas station.
• 
  It was for more photographs of the Fredericksburg Amtrak and Virginia Railway Express station.
• 
  Which used to be a Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad Station.
• 
  The northeast corner of the station house contains a clock mounted on it.
• 
  Nearby the old RF&P Depot is a Virginia Central Railway station.
• 
  Across from that is a street sign indicating the stations are in the Downtown Historic District
• 
  Today it's a bar called the Irish Brigade (Both Union and Confederate Troops had Irish Brigades),
• 
  Either way, the distinction between the two Fredericksburg stations is why the Wikipedia Trains/US Stations project naming convention sucks!
• 
  Another VRE station I was looking for was Leeland Road in Falmouth, Virginia.
• 
  The platform at the station towards Washington, DC
• 
  Here's another view, but with a better shot of the station sign.
• 
  The platform at the station towards Fredericksburg
• 
  The Fredericksburg-bound side also includes ticket vending machines and a VRE system map.
• 
  Virginia Railway Express urges you to buy your tickets at the machines before boarding their trains.
• 
  A wheelchair ramp also leads to the platform. I walked from the platform along that ramp, though.
• 
  A bus shelter exists here, but I'm not really sure which bus services use it.
• 
  A bike rack also exists here. Off screen, there were plenty of real estate signs for future development.
• 
  On the way home, I spotted this Digiboo vending machine at the Davis Travel Plaza in Stony Creek.
• 
  Virginia is for Lovers again at the northbound I-95 Welcome Center in 2015.
• 
  Though a U-turn helped me get a series of southbound pictures for signs towards the southbound North Carolina Welcome Center
• 
  The Church Road Bridge is the last overpass on southbound I-95 before the road crosses the state line.
• 
  That welcome center is at the next right. You just have to cross the border.
• 
  Back in Virginia, I stopped in Emporia once again...
• 
  ,, and snapped additional pictures of the Masonic Lodge.
• 
  Across the street from that, is a marker for the grave of General John R Chambliss.
• 
  My intended goal for Emporia this year was this place
• 
  It was the NRHP-listed Greensville County Training School
• 
  The old school was in the process of being restored
• 
  They had a lot of work to do here.
• 
  Something I wasn't expecting was to find this old truck
• 
  It's a Chevrolet Steel-Tilt Cabover from the late-1960's.
• 
  There really aren't very many of these still around today.
• 
  In Stony Creek, I finally went to the Stony Creek Tastee Hut on US 301.
• 
  I've seen it for years along I-95, and now I was there.
• 
  Billboard for the restaurant facing US 301 traffic.
• 
  The entrance to the northbound Ladysmith Rest Area on I-95...
• 
  .. which unfortunately, I had to pass up.

  That's because by the time I got there it was nearly midday.
• 
  On the plus side, they had an original toll booth on display between the parking lot near the gas station and the main building.

  You could've even gone inside if you wanted to. Unfortunately, I didn't do it back then.
• 
  In November 2014 I went to the Delaware House again, There was no old toll booth, but there was a Best Buy vending machine there.

• 
  Tried to capture the Spring Garden Market-Frankford Line station from Southbound I-95. Not such a good idea.
• 
  The restrooms at the Eastwick Loop Subway-Surface Trolley stop.
• 
  Two Kawasaki trolley cars at the Eastwick Loop Subway-Surface Trolley stop.
• 
  Chester Transportation Center from the bus lane.
• 
  The underground platforms of Samson Commons-36th Street Subway-Surface Trolley Line station.
• 
  The station entrance on the northeast corner.
• 
  Close-up shot of the same entrance with the braille sign.
• 
  Another entrance to Samson Commons station on the northwest corner.
• 
  From there, I walked up 36th Street to the 36th Street Portal on the Route 10 Trolley.
• 
  I could've bought a transfer, but I wouldn't have been able to get these two shots if I did.
• 
  The old 52nd Street Pennsylvania Railroad station as seen from SEPTA Route 10.
• 
  A shelter for the 63rd & Malvern Loop;...
• 
  ..the west end of the line for SEPTA Route 10.
• 
  Also a stop for some buses. This view is from US 30.
• 
  This was my second attempt at the Spring Garden MFL station. This time I took it from the station itself.
• 
  I couldn't believe they wouldn't sell me a ticket. I really didn't understand SEPTA's fare system for rapid transit or trolleys.
• 
  Nevertheless it gave me the chance to get a shot of one of the signs along I-95.
• 
  That could've been my train, and I wouldn't have had to pay. I still caught the one after that.
• 
  In 2013 I decided to drive down I-95 in Pennsylvania...
• 
  .. so I could capture the entrance to the Cornwall Heights (SEPTA station)
• 
  But from there I drove off the interstate into Northeast Philadelphia, so I could capture some Market-Frankford Line stations like Erie-Torresdale (MFL station)...
• 
  The white Kia Optima just happened to be here.
• 
  I had to drive around the block to capture York-Dauphin (MFL station).
• 
  My main reason for the Pennsylvania detour was to stop at Springfield Mall so I could take the Route 101 trolley.
• 
  There's no third rail here, so I had no problem crossing the tracks to get a shot from the other side.
• 
  And here comes a SEPTA Route 101 trolley now.
• 
  I wanted to capture as many stations as I could between there and the 69th Street Terminal in Upper Darby, but all I got was this one at Drexel Hill Junction.
• 
  After the end of the line at 69th Street Terminal in Upper Darby, I took a ride to the 46th Street (MFL station) on the Market Street El...
• 
  .. primarily for some trace of the stub that used to go above ground east of the station, and the ramp to the 45th Street tunnel portal around that curve.
• 
  Looking south at South Farragut Street. The station's namesake runs along Market Street in a one block overlap.
• 
  Below the station, you can see a staircase to the Upper Darby-bound platform.
• 
  The station house is on the southeast corner and you can see it from above,
• 
  What I wasn't expecting was the majesty of the Provident Mutual Life Insurance Building.
• 
  The clock tower of that building can be seen above and behind the canopy over the westbound platform.
