Western Railroad Discussion > Toto's peaches & pecans odyssey

Greetings from Fulton County, GA! KJ & I have been on the go since 0830. We've been rolling up US hwy 41 (of Allman Bros fame?) since yesterday morning. I shot an interesting NS manifest just north of Tifton, GA, and took in the beautiful countryside leading to Macon where we spent the night. No trains so far today but I shot a grain elevator at Orchard Hill, the very first grain elevator built in Georgia. The scenery and has a stunning beauty, but even more striking is the unfailing cleanliness everywhere. Litter seems to be nonexistent. Outstanding!

More later, I just dropped my cell phone grabbing a shot of Turner Field....

Toto, the wayward flatlander ;^)

Did you make a stop in Dalton? I know the weather wasn't the greatest today in Georgia, however the NS and CSX trains are quite frequent at the Diamond in downtown Dalton.

Take your time coming back, all the good stuff has been rolling through since you left... ;-)

No sir. Dalton looked pretty interesting in the DeLorme, but there was a certain urgency to go find an antique store, if you know what I mean...

You could have enticed her with the great smoked(actually very moist rotisserie) chicken and veggies at the Oakwood Cafe. Only a block away from all the action.

Enjoy the rest of your trip. And have a safe one.
