CABLE LAYING TRAIN
GEORGIA DIVISION
ASHBURN
Weekend before Christmas 2000.
Slow start on Saturday, as the fog of a typical winter morning in central
Georgia blankets the area. The power consists of 2 GP38 AC
from NS, the cable laying machine, MESX 1996, the
flat cars with the reels and a tool box car. To my biggest disappointment,
they are not using a caboose. In the background, a pair of GP38AC
from LLPX in the UP scheme are being sent away.
Despite the bad weather, I proceed to Cordele for a day by the diamond.
16 trains later, the sky clears up, so I stop by the siding, again, to
take so more photos.
