A trio of SD40-2's
Title:  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.

A trio of GWI units
Title:  A trio of GWI units
Description:  GWI's Hilton and Albany RR power has recently seen a third unit being used between Hilton and Albany. Part of the reason lies in the fact that another GWI road, the GA Southwestern, has begun funneling cars to/from Albany GA using the interchange at Arlington GA where the HAL picks up and set off cars to/from the GSWR. In this case a pair of SD40-2's bracket a former VRE unit now stenciled as a GP39-2.

Lots of orange and black
Title:  Lots of orange and black
Description:  Power used by GWI subsidiaries CIRR and Hilton and Albany RR is seen in the CIRR yard in Hilton.

Hilton and Albany switcher
Title:  Hilton and Albany switcher
Description:  The Hilton and Albany switcher has picked up Bayline 511 from the CIRR yard and it will be trailing going east toward Albany tonight. I am assuming it is headed to the GSWR at Arlington but I don't know if it is going there for switching duties or to the shop at Dawson. The last green/yellow Bayline unit that had shop work done at Dawson came back to the Hilton and onto the CIRR paint shop at Cedar Springs where it will soon emerge in the corporate GWI orange/black. Could the same fate be in the future for the 511?

Mainline power
Title:  Mainline power
Description:  For at least 35 years the Bayline local between Panama City FL and Dothan AL has originated in Panama City running to Dothan and returning to Panama City. Recently this has been basically "flipped". They now originate in Dothan and run to Panama City then return to Dothan. Therefore sets of mainline power are common in the Bayline yard in Dothan. This set is entirely in the GWI corporate colors except for a lease unit in the middle.
