Inside The Bay Line shop in August of 2007.

Under repair/service.

Todays power for the Chattahoochee Bay local consists of a pair of Bayline GP38's, an idling Chattahoochee Bay GP38, and Chattahoochee Bay 2882 dead in town with major engine failure.

The CIRR local has just set over a pair of Chattahoochee Bay RR GP38's to todays Chattahoochee Bay power, a pair of Bayline GP38's. The CIRR local is about to couple to a cut of export paper destined for Panama City and set it over to the Chattahoochee Bay local.

The CIRR local arrives Hilton with a pair of Chattahoochee Bay RR GP38's dead in tow after having received some work in the CIRR shops in Cedar Springs. My understanding is the 2882 has suffered major damage and will be moved to the Bayline shops in Panama City FL to see if it is worth repairing.

CHAT 2882 shows a lot of hard miles. The unit began life on the old Norfolk Southern and has seen many owners since.

The Chattahoochee Bay morning switch local works the north end of the Bayline yard. Seen with the normal GP38's is the CIRR 716 which left Hilton the night before. GWI is obviously moving the unit to another location (Chattahoochee Bay or Bayline??) but I don't know where. It is still wearing the paint scheme of original owner Appalachicola Northern.
