722 and 750 team-up on an excursion down the former Central of Georgia mainline.

As usual, there is L&N power up front on 214, a Cincy to NOLA train that was a combined effort between L&N and Western Railway of Alabama. That diamond-shaped concrete sign, however, is all West ... (more)

Just after a summer shower, the L&N NOLA-Cincy run-through climbs the hill out of Opelika behind a cool collection of diesels- GP38-2/U25B/GP40/U23B.

Chicago to Kansas City train CK-1 waits just east/north of Starnes Tower as an N&W freight moves through the plant.

If I remember correctly, the operator pulled this carload of coke fresh from the smelter into the cooling tower, where it got an extended shower. Now that temps are down, he is swapping the troll... (more)

Members of the two long-range locals (46 is working just around the curve west of the depot) mingle at the depot, and a few hit the Coke machine in the old waiting room. If I recall, the sodas (d... (more)

The crew of the long-range local backs down a city street to deliver a load of lumber. That C39-8 and ex-N&W C36-7 seem downright exotic now.

A pair of GP38-2s and a C424 take the westbound do-everything train west at the C&NW bridge in Bartonville.

The first train through this wreck site is an eastbound behind C39-8 8551 and SD50 6510.
