Jeffrey Allen General This is a very nice shot. I really like the long hood forward Southern style. 5/30/2013 5:03:16 PM
Charles Burgess General Classic Albany, GA railroading. Super shot! 5/31/2013 4:47:34 PM
Bryan Smith General Great shot. To the left are the car shops and in the background right are engines tied up. The local shown here would go to Dothan where the crew would take 8 hours rest then return to Albany. There were 2 "sides" on this run which meant when the local was arriving at Albany, another was getting ready to leave which meant 7 day a week operation in both directions. GWI now operates this line 5 days a week. 6/2/2013 8:32:58 AM
