Last AN GP15 still in the classic scheme |
| Description: |
To my knowledge this is the last AN GP15T still in the classic AN scheme. I think there is a SW1500 still in the AN scheme and unless there are some elsewhere, those are the last 2 that haven't gotten the orange/black GWI scheme. I'm not sure where this one ended up but it is dangerously close to the CIRR paint shop. It may have ended up there. |

Former Salt Lake City Southern unit |
| Description: |
A former Salt Lake City Southern unit now stenciled for the Valdosta (GA) Railroad sits on the former CofG mainline to Dothan having just arrived from Dothan. The unit on the left in the GWI scheme is a former Virginia Rail Express unit. The trackage it is on is the CIRR mainline to Cedar Springs. The SLC unit, just out of the shops in Panama City FL, will continue east on the Hilton and Albany RR local. I understood it was headed for the GSWR railroad in Bainbridge. All the lines mentioned are part of GWI. |

Todays CHAT local has former Luxapella Valley GP38 trailing and enroute to the paint shop at Cedar Springs. This unit spent many years on the nearby GSWR. No doubt it will emerge from the paint shop in the corporate GWI orange/black. As to which road it will be stenciled for, it is anybodies guess. |

Former Luxapella Valley unit |
| Description: |
Former Luxapella Valley GP38 is seen after some major mechanical work at the former Bayline shops in Panama City FL. It is enroute to the paint shop on the CIRR at Cedar Springs where it will get the GWI corporate orange/black treatment. It spent many years on the GSWR. While at the shops in Panama City it's short hood was lowered. If I remember correctly, this unit began life on the original Norfolk Southern as a low hood unit. When Southern bought the NS they put high hoods on these units. Now the hood has been lowered back to it's original look. |

Three Notch RR logo |
| Description: |
The GWI corporate scheme is seen on a recently repainted unit that has been stenciled for the Three Notch RR which operates 36 miles of former L&N trackage between Georgiana and Andalusia AL. GWI changed the logo a bit with this unit. Between the "T" and the "N" where the trackage is seen usued to be against an orange background. Now it appears to be a map of the state of Alabama. Credit railfan Charles Burgess with first noticing this change. |

A trio of SD40-2's |
| Description: |
An impressive show of power for a short line is seen here in the form of a trio of SD40-2's. The HAL normally operates with a pair of SD40-2's so the third one is probably headed to one of the other GWI lines in the area. The middle unit is stenciled for the Chattahoochee and Columbus which may give a hint on where it might be headed. |

Scrap yard |
| Description: |
This is a look at the Schnitzer Scrap yard located on the old CofG on the east side of Dothan. This is the final resting place for hundreds of freight cars including many of the "whales on rails" 8 axle tank cars that saw the torch here a few years ago. On a recent trip to Hilton GA Charles Burgess, Allan Williams, and myself speculated on why a string of 50ft cushion underframe insulated boxcars were in Hilton. There were probably 30-35 of them. We speculated a nearby grain elevator might be using them to load cotton seed. A look toward the end of this track seen here shows their reason for being in the area....they are the latest victims of the cutting torch. Remnants of previous cars can be seen on the pile of scrap. |
