Steam & Excursion > Southern SaturdayDate: 10/12/14 12:37 Southern Saturday Author: Vanakatherock Good afternoon everyone! This weekend was a great weekend for me with my adventure to NW Georgia starting on Friday and ending on Saturday. On Saturday, I pursued Southern 4501 from Rossville, GA down to Summerville, GA. Below, you will see a few photos and a video from the trip!
1: Coming through Rossville, GA. 2: Next up, Rock Spring, GA and an old building that a lot of railfans like to have as a background in their shot. 3: In the town of Lafayette, GA.    Date: 10/12/14 12:40 Re: Southern Saturday Author: Vanakatherock 4: On the back roads between LaFayette and Trion, GA.
5: Coming through Trion, GA in the rain. 6: One more in Trion after the train had to stop to flag a crossing.    Date: 10/12/14 12:42 Re: Southern Saturday Author: Vanakatherock 7: Small crowd gathered at the Summerville Depot awaiting the arrival of 4501.
8: 4501 pulling into the siding in Summerville, GA. 9: Taking a spin on the turntable...    Date: 10/12/14 12:52 Re: Southern Saturday Author: Vanakatherock 10: Posing in Summerville during the downtime.

Date: 10/13/14 10:22 Re: Southern Saturday Author: Tominde Nice pics and video. Question? In the video the train appears to move only 15-20 mph. Was that the speed for the trip or just happens to be that way where you did the video?
