CofG local from Albany GA to Dothan AL |
| Description: |
The Southern takeover of the CofG is evident in this 1969 look at the Dothan district local using tuxedo scheme power lettered for the Central of Georgia. This is the route that used spacer cars, seen here, due to weight restrictions over the Chattahoochee River trestle which is only 2 miles west of the location where this photo was taken. The coming of the Farley Nuclear plant near Columbia and the heavy loads destined to it would make a new trestle necessary and in a few years after this picture was taken it would be in place and would end the need for the spacer cars. |

Southern train #167 |
| Description: |
Southern 211 was an ex-CofG GP35. I have been told that a quick way to determine if a Southern unit was ex-CofG or ex-Southern was that ex-CofG units were set up to run short hood forward while ex-Southern units were set up to run long hood forward. Note the small block near the end of the short hood end of the frame on the 211 indicating the forward end. I am told this means of identification applies to Southern/CofG GP7's as well |

Derailment |
| Description: |
Seen here are the results of a cut of cars happily passing through a switch when all of a sudden a car is not satisfied going down a particular track and decides to take the other track. The results are always the same....a mess. |
