Macon, Ga. Downtown
There are several good spots in town.
Following are shots from my 3 favorites: Macon Junction, Edgewood and North
end of the yard.
Macon Junction; December 2000. NS 215 lead by 2 Conrails sandwiching an NS engine, gets a nice light
early in the morning but in a tight corner.
Macon Junction; December 2000. In the afternoon, Rock train G10 goes by a wide open spot by the Union
Terminal lead by 8011, a C30-7 less than a year away from retirement.
Brosnan Yard, North End; December 2000. Late in the afternoon, NS 322 power has no less that 10 engines including
4 LLPX GP38AC in UP livery. The consist was just turned around on the Y
between Macon Junction and Edgewood.
Edgewood; July 2000. This southbound is stopped for a new crew, before continuing on the
old Georgia Southern & Florida to Valdosta. The consist has one of
the rare Conrail Ballast Express C32-8.
Edgewood; July 2000. A few minutes later, with the sun high in the sky, this northbound
freight gets through the junction with one of the GE dash 9 C40W still
in its primer suit.
Edgewood; June 2000. Mid-afternoon shot of a norhtbound freight.
