Awesome pictures. I’ve never heard of this railroad before. I wouldn’t mind trying to catch them. Can you give any information on their operations?

You used the location to your advantage. Great photos.

Great photos!  Former BN units.

Great shots, Terry!  That's pretty rare for them to be working on a Sunday, isn't it?  Of course, the Corinth Turn has historically gone to work Sunday nights, but it's essentially Monday's train.
 

Very nice..!!

Awesome series!

Wow I didn't even know this existed either!!  Great pictures, neat paint scheme.

Nice set of photos.
Can you identify the two units, Terry? I can't quite make out the road numbers. (sarcasm)

Wow, I too had no idea about these!

Great series, had never heard of this railroad before.  

Love those old GEs, kudos on the coverage! Running one is on my bucket list--regardless of how they ride--just as long as the box is checked.

I, too, would like to know more about where and how this railroad operates.

From https://www.wtnnrr.com/The West Tennessee Railroad began in 1984 on a portion of the former Mobile & Ohio Railroad main line between Jackson and Kenton, Tennessee.  In 2001, the WTNN expanded operations, acquiring operating rights over the former ICG line between Corinth, Mississippi and Fulton, Kentucky.WTNN operates on a daily basis and has interchanges with CSX, KCS, NS, and CN.  Car storage and transloading services are provided in several convenient areas along the WTNN line.

If someone said this motive power was export units working overseas, I'd believe it based on the paint scheme.

Bet they sounded great!

WTRR works M-F, They only work weekends when it grain season, CSX handed over two Grain Trains and NS brought 1 in made for a busy weekend for them, WTRR has always been known for there odd power, A few shots from 1997

I had no idea there was an operation in the 90's running pure consists of former SP RSD-12's.   Very interesting!   Hopefully one will appear again at a certain So. Cal museum in SP red and gray.
