Recent GA Outings
Author: Vanakatherock

It has been a couple of weeks since I posted, so I figured I'd bundle together my most recent three outings here in Georgia.

1: NS 27A heads north through Jenkinsburg, GA back on 01/26/2014.

2: NS 281 heading south didn't want to stop for a smoke break.

3: NS 66X heads north with the NS Veterans unit needing a bath.

4: A look at 66x going around the curve in Jenkinsburg.

5: On 01/31/2014, the City of Locust Grove, GA held the ribbon cutting ceremony for the train platform. I'd estimate somewhere around 50-60 people showed up. Since schools were still closed because of the snow & ice build up (no jokes please), there were quite a few kids here for the 2:00PM ceremony.

6: That is Mayor Robert Price in the middle with the scissors.

8: Our first train past the platform after the ribbon was cut is NS 322.

9: Some of the kids taking in the view of 322 passing by the platform.

10: After most of the visitors to the platform had left, train 276 came by with a UP GEVO leading the charge.

11: NS 276.

12: Not the best photo in the world, but CSX local switching job A759 works the Conyers, GA industry on Friday night (01/31/2014).
