Seaboard Coast Line U36B #1776 has a guest engineer who greatly favors long time Manchester (GA) railroader John Douglas. Photo taken in front of the depot          
Lineville Subdivision train #587 (The Wadley Turn) is departing Wadley on its return run to Manchester (GA) Yard (northbound ran as #588). No local work will be performed on this run as there are crowds to visit and goodie bags to toss to children trackside !! For many years, on the last Saturday before Christmas, the engineer of this train made it his personal mission to spread joy (and goodie bags) along his run. - Bicentennial paint
