Returning the first half of a CSX grain train, a rare weekend move on the Georgia Northeastern crosses I-75 catching some rays after a thunderstorm.

As the evening sun glistens down on the city of Marietta, manifest Q541-13 sprints through the historic town, with an EMD gem to lead the train towards Atlanta.

Probably one of the few YN3.5 punctuation mark units to pass this signal. The PTC box and signals have already been installed and were cut in later in the year.

This perfectly placed signal has since succumbed to PTC upgrading. At least the C40-8 is still in YN2 paint!

A text from a friend allowed me to capture a late running GNRR switch job. My wife calls it the Guns-N-Roses Railroad.

The second local pulls into Elizabeth not even 5 minutes behind the first one with a trio of geeps running long hood forward. CSX's W&A sub is in the foreground.
