After making a set-off for the Sequatchie Valley Railroad, CSX M765-02 get the hot ticket, and run north to the north-end of the Bridgeport yard to pick-up a cut of cars on the interchange track, before heading back to Widows Creek Yard. A lot has change, and somethings has remain the same. The 101 year old Bridgeport Depot is one of the many example of the structures that stood the test of time in this small community, even at that the railroad has since change hands in the last 28 years. The once NC&StL/L&N and it's successor CSX operated local, and coal trains out of the Bridgeport Yard for a century, til the demand of coal slowly started to dry up in this region. Eventually the yard, and the Jasper Branch was sold off to the Sequatchie Valley Railroad by the mid 1990s, and CSX had moved all operation at that time further north of the Sub to a small secluded yard at Widows Creek near the old TVA Widow's Creek Fossil plant.
