Tree Trimming
The first quarter mile took almost two hours because of the heavy tree cover. |
|
Chain Saw Symphony
At times there were three chin saws going at the same time setting the depot free. |
|
Goodbye Holmesville
The depot passes by the side of Holmesville Baptist Church. |
|
Long Trip
Many curves, several bridges, and countless overhead lines along 17 mile route. |

Last Look at Empty Lot
"Pop Pop" Feldman and Henry Gibbes take one last gander at the empty space where the depot will soon rest. |
|
Everybody Came to See
Some might say Summit is going to the dogs, but even Zoie came out to welcome the depot. |
|
Lining Up
Once the depot pulled in it was time to line up the buildings to each other and parallel to the track. |
|
Back to Work
Volunteers Lance Cowart and Bill Lewman unload new sills donated by Wallace Lumber for use in the project. |

The Liberty-White Depot Project is a Community Project
- Principle #1: Everybody can do something, maybe it's cleaning brick, maybe it's bringing ice water -- but everybody can do something.
- Principle #2: Your trash is probably our treasure -- here old tin, old brick, old beadboard, old cypress siding and probably much more are coveted items.
- Principle #3: We do not have the money in the bank -- we are going to have to scrimp and scavenge and do a lot with volunteer help so pitch in.
- Principle #4: People who work side by side make better neighbors and form lasting relationships -- this project can do wonders for this community.
- Principle #5: We don't have all the answers -- you do -- we just have a shared dream and common goal of a restored Depot and Museum for Summit.
- Principle #6: All Aboard is more than a slogan -- we want you to join in and share the experience. Click the link get on board now.
