My oldest color photograph of the station is the scene above – captured in December 1970 as southbound Seaboard Coast Line passenger train No. 85 ("The Everglades") made its late-afternoon scheduled stop. This train (actually, its predecessor, No. 375, running on the same schedule) was special to me, for it was the train I boarded several times a year to visit my grandparents in Fayetteville – 48 miles down the line. The photo above was taken in October 1978 of a westbound Southern Railway freight (probably No. 63 that ran daily from Goldsboro to Durham). That's my son Frank (then age 5) in the foreground.	Selma Union Depot a personal retrospective by Wingate Lassiter Selma's 1924 Union Depot entered its second life with completion of a $3.2-million restoration project in November 2002. In celebration of the event, I went through my railroad photo collection and pulled out the historical shots displayed on this page... The photo above was made during an August 1975 visit to Selma by restored Southern Railway steam locomotive No. 4501, pulling an excursion train from the west to Goldsboro and back. This train and its green engine brought back memories of Southern passenger trains that served Selma until the mid-1960s.
