CAGY 2777 |
Description: |
As odd as odd can be...for me. This view would not have been possible a little over a year ago. With G&W unfortunately now owning the Columbus & Greenville Railway along with the Alabama Gulf Coast Railroad, such insanity is now possible. The tracks arf those of the BNSF. The AGR has a local that works Columbus, MS and Aliceville, AL which is AGR 110. The job had been based out of Aliceville but perhaps due to the crude oil train derailment a few days before, AGR 110 got started in Columbus and todays power comes in the form of CAGY 2777. The "Triple Seven" is seen here at 2nd Ave Columbus passing the old BN shack heading for the Eka/Akzo Nobel plant at Whitbury, MS which is roughly 5 miles south of Columbus |

Description: |
Moving forward at Don Knotts strength (about 5 mph), the 2880 is on her way to Artesia but as typical with some thungs, theres always a snag. The trip also includes making set outs for the KCS and at the Port of Columbus. The 80 is rounding the curve where the C&G main ends and is about to hit KCS iron. |

Description: |
The 80 hoves her cut of 4 to the KCS at C&G Junction (MP. 14.5) before continuing west to Artesia down the KCS. The KCS Tuscaloosa Sub is the line you see to your immediate left. The building you see off in mhe distance is the old Seminole Clothing Company. I wouldn't doubt that at one time that they weren't a customer of the lines original owner, the M&O or GM&O. This line from MP. 17 onwards to Tuscaloosa and Brookwood, Alabama is leased to and operated by Watco's Alabama. |

Walking After Midnight |
Description: |
Just after midnight, the Columbus switcher pauses for a few moments after getting a track warrant from the KCS to head out to the steel mill with 8718 and 1002 having the honors. It was nice to wee 2 units in fairly matching paint banging them around together, doesn't happen often on this line. |

As I'm getting ready to get my phcs of the 2880 heading to Artesia, KCS personel drove by and strained their necks then turned around to do it again. Suprisingly I wasn't run off. Artesia was once railfan griendly but after KCS came to town that pretty much came to an end. |
