| The Chattahoochee Bay local has arrived at Hilton GA with an odd locomotive consist of 2 GP38's and a former CIRR SW1500. The CIRR 1505 is the last unit in a CIRR paint scheme in the area. It is faded and well worn but still a reminder of another era. Right behind the locomotives are 28 carloads of pipe from Panama City FL destined to a project in the Griffin GA area. The CHAT had 72 cars to deliver to the NS on this date and due to the heavy grade from the river to Hilton, they could only bring the 28 carloads of pipe. They cut the rest of the train off in Columbia. They went back and got it as soon as they got the pipe loads yarded. |
