G&O trains

G&O trains OPERATIONS

Several trains are operating on the lines every day. In the G&O era, the Thomasville job started in Camilla late in the afternoon and went first north to Albany. Then it turned around south to Thomasville to interchange with CSXT. Then it came back to Camilla for the night and generally the weekend.
The Valdosta job leaves Albany early morning every weekday sometimes even on Saturdays, and comes back the same day.
The Perry to Adel job?
The Sylvester branch and the Nashville branch ?

Railnet Valdosta turn.

In August 1999, the G&O Valdosta turn just got on the NS in Adel. Once in Valdosta, the plan is to drop off the cars and run around the train to pick the load for Albany.

G&O Camilla turn

In July 1998, the Camilla turn just switched some grain cars at Pelham South and resumes his trip to Thomasville.

In May 1998, it just finished switching the rock plant in Meigs, and will soon be going by the depot at Ochlocknee.

The Camilla turn in the Railnet era

The Camilla turn is running in June 2000 on the old GAS&C in Camilla heading toward the junction with the old ACL Albany-Thomasville line.

Transfer job to NS

Shame a picture cannot talk. You would hear 3832 screaming as it pulls the transfer job up to the yard from the bridge over the Flint river. You would also hear the engineer call for a pusher from the ready track, just in case she stalls. Fortunately, 3832 wins the battle that day, but barely!!!! After the torture, the engine is left to cool down on the ready track. See picture in G&O roster.

CSX/Radium Springs coal train

After a long weekend at the Albany train show operating a time saver layout, I get rewarded Sunday evening. CSX with some nice power came down from Oglethorpe, Ga on the NS line to Albany to pick the empty Radium Springs coal train from the old ACL yard.
