Passenger car |
| Description: |
A passenger car sitting on the passing track at Shellman is about all thats left of GSWR's one time excursion trains. Before becoming a unit of GWI the GSWR operated excursion trains until NS, which provided financing for the line when it was sold, objected as it violated the terms of the financing. |

Former Virginia Railway Express coach |
| Description: |
A former VRE coach is seen near the CIRR shops at Cedar Springs GA. This car sat at Shellman GA for years and has been recently moved to Cedar Springs for reasons unknown. Several years ago, prior to GWI buying the Georgia Southwestern RR, GSWR operated several excursion trains between Smithville GA and Eufaula AL. This car was to be a part of those excursions but the program was killed when NS, who still owned the line, pointed out that the lease agreement did not allow passenger service on the lines that GSWR had leased from them. Therefore this car lanquished for years at Shellman. Thanks to Michael Woodruff for furnishing this historical information about this car: "That coach has a long history. Originally one of a group of B&M Budd RDCs, sent to Morrison-Knudsen in Boise to be rebuilt as demotored coaches. Served on MBTA. Then sold to VRE. Then sold to Vermont Railway, hence the "VTR" reporting mark." |

CIRR shops |
| Description: |
A bit of an odd scene at the CIRR shops shows a former RDC car most recently used by Virginia Railway Express and stored at Shellman GA on the GSWR for years spending some time at the CIRR shop for reasons unknown. Alongside are a pair of SW1500's still in faded AN and CIRR schemes. |
