Latest repaint from the CIRR paint shop |
Description: |
The latest repaint from the CIRR paint shop shows off the GWI corporate scheme even though missing it's number boards and still with taped up headlights. It appears it is headed for the shops at Panama City FL for some mechanical work. This is a former GSWR/Piedmont Northern/IC unit. |

Small switcher seen |
Description: |
I recently saw this small switcher at the Schnitzer scrap iron company in Dothan. Schnitzer loads out much scrap and many railcars have been cut up at this location. The switcher has been moved to the end of their track and remains there into the first of October 2013. I am not sure if it is to be scrapped or if it will be used to move cars around on their trackage. The high side gonds seen in the photo are for scrap loading while the tank cars near the end of the track are to be scrapped. |

Bayline colors seen |
Description: |
The Hilton and Albany RR, a unit of GWI, local from Dothan AL arrives using a Bayline GP40 still in the classic Bayline scheme. This is one of the last units in the area in the classic scheme as the corporate orange/black has nearly taken over. I think some GP38's in the Bayline green/yellow still operate around Montgomery AL and on the GSWR out of Cuthbert GA. But they are getting rare. |

Hilton and Albany local |
Description: |
Todays Hilton and Albany RR local is about to leave Hilton GA with 7 locomotives. Three of their own, including a SD40-3 in the CEFX scheme, and four NS locomotives. One pair of NS locomotives had brought down a coal train to Hilton GA while the other set are returning from carrying a rock train to Panama City FL. Yes boys and girls...regular unit coal and rock trains along with numerous industries along the line and NS gives up and leases the line to GWI....go figure. |

Lots of orange and black |
Description: |
Power used by GWI subsidiaries CIRR and Hilton and Albany RR is seen in the CIRR yard in Hilton. I think that was me that told you to get the photos of these units in their classic schemes before the corporate scheme became the order of the day...remember?? And while a good looking scheme, a lot of the classic are falling by the wayside. |

Mainline power |
Description: |
For at least 35 years the Bayline local between Panama City FL and Dothan AL has originated in Panama City running to Dothan and returning to Panama City. Recently this has been basically "flipped". They now originate in Dothan and run to Panama City then return to Dothan. Therefore sets of mainline power are common in the Bayline yard in Dothan. This set is entirely in the GWI corporate colors except for a lease unit in the middle. |
