Chattahoochee Bay local
Title:  Chattahoochee Bay local
Description:  The Chattahoochee Bay local is seen with a hodge-podge of power today. Ex AN SW1500 leads a Bayline GP38 followed by a gondola car to be set out enroute to Dothan. Right behind that are a pair of Georgia Southwestern SD40-2's. The GSWR was recently acquired by GWI which also owns the Bayline.

CIRR switch local
Title:  CIRR switch local
Description:  The CIRR switch local showed up today with 3 SW1500's all in differant paint schemes. An AN paint scheme and CIRR paint scheme has the G&W painted locomotive surrounded. The CIRR unit, the last in the area in a CIRR paint scheme, was dropped off for the Chattahoochee Bay to pick up most likely to go to the shop in Panama City. While it is faded, hopefully it won't come back in orange/black.
