No trains but great looking railroad
Title:  No trains but great looking railroad
Description:  No trains in this view but I an always amazed at the great looking modern railroad at Lilly. CSX recently extended the siding and created a section of double track. Note the double crossovers, concrete ties, and modern signaling. All we need now are the trains.

Old passenger cars
Title:  Old passenger cars
Description:  A couple of old passenger cars while away the time at Shellman. Prior to the Georgia Southwestern becoming part of G&W, they ran several excursions using these cars. The combination of NS taking a hard line on passenger trains over lines it still owned and the G&W takeover ended this practice and now the cars sit doing nothing. I understand they are for sale but have no takers.
