Viewing Album:  Pulaski Street July 8th 08
 
By:Atlanta Rails
Dates:7/8/2008 - 7/8/2008
Album Info:Today i realized how much my favorite railfanning spot, Pulaski Street in Athens has changed, when i first began railfanning there in the mid 90's the neighborhood was run down, and by the tracks stood the abandoned LM Leathers company. Flash forward to today, the Pulaski neighborhood has gone through extensive changes with many of the houses being refurbrished, the LM Leathers buildings has been renovated as well and today at the front corner facing the tracks is the new "Trax" resteraunt, so today i sat at the outdoor patio with tables and umbrela's and ate a BLT while waiting for the trains, quite a improvememt from 10 years ago! On the rails however some old favorites were still to be found, such as a now rare B36-7, a slug set and even some new suprises like a UP GEVO.

CSX 5864 looms through the mid afternoon heat
Title:  CSX 5864 looms through the mid afternoon heat
Description:  Though they are a familiar face in Athens B36-7's and their B30-7 predacessors are quickly becoming endangered. Built for high speed intermodal service, these engines were a familiar site on Local trains like Y111, today however even that would be a good assingnment compared to the lowly MOW train it has in tow today.

CSX 2353
Title:  CSX 2353
Description:  After spending over an hour shut down on the main line infront of the depot, the sluggies finally head to the yard with a lone gondola ruining the view of the GP40-2. Note the slug is newly painted while the mother is a older YN3 repaint that has been renumbered. Its producing a fair amount of smoke for a EMD.
