CSX Q491 with former Georgia RR GP38-2
Author: RFandPFan

Yesterday's CSX Q491 (Hamlet, NC to Waycross, GA) at Jesup, Georgia with former Georgia RR GP38-2 #2702 "Spirit of Atlanta" named for Franklin M. Garrett.

From Wikipedia...
Franklin Miller Garrett (September 25, 1906 – March 5, 2000) was the only official historian of Atlanta. His massive Atlanta and Environs: A Chronicle of its People and Events is a book about the city's history.

The Georgia Railroad Named EMD GP 38-2 locomotive number 6051, as The Franklin M. Garrett in 1980. This locomotive ran on the Georgia R.R. until 1983, when the Georgia was Merged into Seaboard System. Seaboard System kept the name on the locomotive. The 6051 pulled the Last Georgia Mixed Train out of Atlanta in 1983. This locomotive today is CSXT 2702

Certainly hope #2702 ends up in a museum.
