He's 81 and remembers the Southern and the L&N yard. Recalls they used to put trains on a turntable and manually turn them to change direction and that the train station was on Broad St. near the candy factory. My cousin in Selma (who's 85) worked for one of the RRs. Will check with him too. B.J. Smothers
