The train travels east to Sparks Ga. where it hits NS's GS&F North District and obtains trackage rights to Langdale Yard in Valdosta Ga. where NS forwards the movement south towards Florida. Florida is were all of the contents are distrubeted and consumed. For a while the train used two former Camis Prarie B23-7s which were built for Southern Railway and retired by NS and sent to Livingston Rebuild Center where they received Chopped short hoods and there cabs reconfigured for short hood first operation. They have since been replaced by two former CN GP40-2Ws.These are a few shots of the train making its way south.

The train was built and ready to go for the next days run and was sitting just west of the I75 over pass with two former Boston & Maine nee Gulford GP40-2s for power.
