A visit to the Caldwell County Railroad takes you back to a time when railroading was so popular in America. Shortlines were running all over the country, had a large number of customers, and worked daily. This pair of Family Lines GP16s are certainly a modern day reminder of our railroad glory days. These 2 locomotives make up the entire roster of the Caldwell County Railroad. Visitors and locals alike can see them working on most Tuesdays and some Fridays depending on the customer need. The rest of the week they live out their life in this industrial portion of Hickory, NC. Here the CWCY crew is shoving their final car back into the yard before putting the power away in a small fence that guards the 1811.
