Eastern Railroad Discussion > Louisville and Wadley

Howdy, Y'all. Can anybody give me any information about the Louisville and Wadley Railroad Company (reporting marks "LW)?

Thanks for the help.

Essentially a "paper railroad." Their line has been out of service between the namesake cities for many years. Their sole locomotive is a full Southern Railway colors SW1, and it spends its time rusting away in the weeds and woods at Wadley, GA. The railroad itself hasn't turned a wheel in ages, but its lease fleet of freight cars can be seen coast to coast.

Thanks for the help, Folks. Jimmie

Enjoyed the pics and history lesson. Wish we could see more info like this.

Thanks, Eddiejack. I like to check out what trains are carrying and am still learning (amateur railfan). So when I find a freight car carrying an unusual load, or having a reporting mark I don't recognize, I like to try and learn a little about it. I've found out that a lot of the good folks here on TO are willing to share their knowledge about railroading, and I sure appreciate it.

I've set up a couple of MSN groups with pictures and comments (strickly amateur railfan and amateur photographer). Anyone is welcome to check them out.
