NS 1069, the Virginian heritage unit, leads a coal train on former CofG/NS rails now leased to the Hilton and Albany RR, a unit of GWI. They are headed toward the CIRR yard which will move the coal to it's final destination at the GA Pacific paper mill in Cedar Springs GA.

NS Virginian heritage unit |
| Description: |
Looking up at a lot of power as a coal train led by the Virginian heritage unit swings away from the old NS yard and heads toward the CIRR yard. The Hilton and Albany RR, a unit of GWI, now leases this line but NS power goes through on coal trains. The luck of having a heritage unit on one of these trains is amazing. |
