Day 2 of a 2014 reverse High & Wide move to the GE plant in Greenville. Here the Carolina Piedmont starts their leg of the journey in Laurens with a tight squeeze under the second of two bridges just out of their yard. It rained almost the entire time we chased this train including here.
CPDR 2020 is a GP38 built in 1969 for the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio as GMO 708. to Illinois Central Gulf (ICG) 9527, to New England Central 3847, to Carolina Piedmont (CPDR) 2020. It originally came to Laurens still in New England Central paint, but Genesee and Wyoming quickly painted it into their own corporate scheme and renumbered it.
