No trains but great looking railroad |
Description: |
No trains in this view but I an always amazed at the great looking modern railroad at Lilly. CSX recently extended the siding and created a section of double track. Note the double crossovers, concrete ties, and modern signaling. All we need now are the trains. |

Old passenger cars |
Description: |
A couple of old passenger cars while away the time at Shellman. Prior to the Georgia Southwestern becoming part of G&W, they ran several excursions using these cars. The combination of NS taking a hard line on passenger trains over lines it still owned and the G&W takeover ended this practice and now the cars sit doing nothing. I understand they are for sale but have no takers. |

NS coal train power |
Description: |
NS coal train power waits in the clear as the CIRR couples onto the coal train they just brought from Albany GA. The track they are on is the old CofG mainline that continues to Dothan AL and is now operated by the Chattahoochee Bay, a unit of G&W. |
