The Clinchfield Santa Train features yet another Clinchfield item in the consist this year. While not as incredible as an F-unit, it's the reason the train runs that brings people trackside. Not 1902's debut on the road, I hear tale it was inadvertently sent out of Waycross a couple weeks ago and had to high tail it back pretty quick. The OCS typically has to back out of Waycross to get right facing the direction its going, they had the option of backing up the Jesup Sub towards Brunswick Junction, putting it by the depot....but insisted, more or less, on backing up towards South Waycross. With two trains on the depot side of the Jesup Sub, that's what went down. And the chase was on. They wasted little time cutting across this end of Georgia, leaving Waycross around 1215 and getting into Manchester around 1715.
