Viewing Album:  Coal trains for Christmas, Folkston Dec 26-27, 08.
 
By:Atlanta Rails
Dates:12/27/2008 - 12/27/2008
Album Info:Endless AC GEVO powered coal spam, what more could you want for Christmas? In addition to the mindless parade of GEVO's, there were a few nice suprises such as a RTEX switcher heading for Jax, possibly from Progress Rail in Waycross, the infamous and no longer a good catch CSX 4617, two Conrails and a YN1 GP38-2 slugset, and a GP30 body slugset. The morning of the 27th brought some thick fog, which made for some great photos.
