The Chattahoochee Bay local
Title:  The Chattahoochee Bay local
Description:  The CHAT local between Dothan and Hilton is oftenused to ferry locomotives between the mechanical shops at Panama City FL, the paint shop at Cedar Springs GA, and to Hilton to be forwarded on to numerous GWI lines in the area. Todays CHAT local has former Luxapella Valley GP38 trailing and enroute to the paint shop at Cedar Springs. This unit spent many years on the nearby GSWR. No doubt it will emerge from the paint shop in the corporate GWI orange/black. As to which road it will be stenciled for, it is anybodies guess.

Former Luxapella Valley unit
Title:  Former Luxapella Valley unit
Description:  Former Luxapella Valley GP38 is seen after some major mechanical work at the former Bayline shops in Panama City FL. It is enroute to the paint shop on the CIRR at Cedar Springs where it will get the GWI corporate orange/black treatment. It spent many years on the GSWR. While at the shops in Panama City it's short hood was lowered. If I remember correctly, this unit began life on the original Norfolk Southern as a low hood unit. When Southern bought the NS they put high hoods on these units. Now the hood has been lowered back to it's original look.
