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." |

Bayline unit |
| Description: |
Bayline GP38 #508 is seen from the rear showing recent removal of class lights and number boards. It was dead in tow at this time and was actually on the rear of the local headed to Cedar Springs and the CIRR shops. It is probably safe to assume it has had some recent body work and is about to get a coat of corporate orange/black leaving just a few units still around in the classic Bayline scheme. |

| Description: |
This unit is actually trailing on the CIRR switch local headed back to Cedar Springs. Body work to the nose, seen here, and the removal of the class lights and number boards on the long hood end indicate recent body work and I think it is safe to assume it is headed for the paint shop at Cedar Springs and will soon get a coat of corporate orange/black. |

Hilton and Albany switcher |
| Description: |
The Hilton and Albany switcher has picked up Bayline 511 from the CIRR yard and it will be trailing going east toward Albany tonight. I am assuming it is headed to the GSWR at Arlington but I don't know if it is going there for switching duties or to the shop at Dawson. The last green/yellow Bayline unit that had shop work done at Dawson came back to the Hilton and onto the CIRR paint shop at Cedar Springs where it will soon emerge in the corporate GWI orange/black. Could the same fate be in the future for the 511? |

Last AN GP15 still in the classic scheme |
| Description: |
To my knowledge this is the last AN GP15T still in the classic AN scheme. I think there is a SW1500 still in the AN scheme and unless there are some elsewhere, those are the last 2 that haven't gotten the orange/black GWI scheme. I'm not sure where this one ended up but it is dangerously close to the CIRR paint shop. It may have ended up there. |

AN 721 seen |
| Description: |
A roster shot on what I think is the last AN GP15T still in the classic scheme. There are several more the area but they have all gotten the Orange/black GWI scheme applied now. This one is dangerously close to the CIRR paint shop. I am not sure where this one ended up and it may very well be about to get the orange/black dip. |
