Hilton and Albany regular power and NS coal train power |
| Description: |
The HAL's regular power sits in the passing track as power from a coal train sits tied down behind it. The Hilton and Albany RR crew brought down a coal train for the CIRR then returned to Albany via pick up truck to get another coal train....this one destined for the paper mill at Panama City FL. They made it back about nightfall and tied down for the night. The next day a crew got the Panama City coal train and used the NS power all the way to Panama City. |

Hilton and Albany office |
| Description: |
GWI's newest addition to the stable is the Hilton and Albany RR, operating over former CofG/SOU/NS trackage between it's namesake towns. They recently added this "depot" at Hilton to be used as their offices for this operation. I am looking toward Dothan AL in this photo. |

Hilton and Albany RR office |
| Description: |
The new offices of the Hilton and Albany RR are seen in this photo. Barely visible in the background just to the right of the tall pine tree is the remnants of the old Hilton post office. At one time a peanut shelling plant sat just to the left of the post office and a grist mill to the right of it. The last remnant of the post office is all that is left except for the foundations of the other 2. |

Odd looking Bayline local |
| Description: |
Yep...thats a locomotive on each end. And no the Bayline has not gone to using DPU's on the Abbeville branch. I caught them late but I am pretty sure this set up was so they could switch the peanut mill in Headland northbound. This would be due to the way the switch to the peanut mill lays. |

Odd visitor |

A somewhat odd visitor in seen in the Bayline yard in Dothan AL. Razor wire and ominous signs are indicative of the rough area this photo was taken in. Numerous incidents of vandalism have prompted the Bayline to take extreme measures in order to try and avoid future problems. In this part of Dothan....Good luck. |

Old Bayline depot |

The old Bayline depot in Cottondale FL sits abandoned and falling in. It was last used as an office for the car inspector whose position was eliminated when interchange traffic dropped to nearly nothing at Cottondale. In this photo I am looking south toward Panama City FL. The crossing and the CSX mainline are right behind me. |

The most recent addition to the GWI lines, The Columbus and Chattahoochee, is represented here in the form of a former BN SD40-2. The C&C will soon begin operating over former CofG/NS trackage between Columbus GA and Mahrt AL. This unit recently received it's orange and black paint scheme at the nearby CIRR shops at Cedar Springs GA. Apparently the HAL RR is using it between Hilton and Albany to work out any bugs that may crop up before sending it to Columbus. |

GSWR 3309 is seen working the Hilton and Albany RR local at Hilton GA. Although the GSWR has been in the GWI stable for a couple of years, this unit has avoided the black and orange paint scheme. Probably due to the GWI lines in the area being power short and unable to do without it long enough to get painted. |

The Hilton and Albany local is eastbound near Leary GA as they roll off the last miles before getting to Albany. The lead SD40-2 was the only one on line due to a unusually short train. |

Chattahoochee Bay RR |
| Description: |
The Chattahoochee Bay RR is using a pair of Bayline GP38-2's today still in the classic Bayline yellow/green scheme. Due to orange/black GWI corporate repaints, Bayline units are getting harder to come by still in the classic scheme much less 2 of them operating together. Nice to see them on a clear summer morning. |

Details of former Virginia Rail Express locomotive |
| Description: |
A detailed shot of the long hood end of a former VRE locomotive seen on GWI's Chattahoochee Bay in Columbia AL reveal red marker lights and a circular vent on the end and vents for HEP equipment alongside the hood. This is the former V01 as evidenced by it showing through renumbering. |

Head on shot of former VRE locomotives |
| Description: |
Looking head on at a former Virginia Rail Express locomotive, now owned by GWI and used on their various lines in the Dothan AL area, seen leading an empty Scherer coal train at Columbia AL, an odd outpost for such a move. Perhaps GWI will the storing the train on their lines somewhere. |
