New York Central Heritage drags past the old loading dock in Mableton, GA.

After doubling up a giant train and hanging the FRED, Atlanta to Memphis train 23 Nacho departs Inman Yard.

The Penn Central Heritage leads Kansas City to Jacksonville train 285 past some of the latest fall colors we've seen, descending the 1.1% Braswell Mountain.

Surrounded by fall colors, 23N crosses the concrete arch bridge just east of Austell. The Sweetwater Brewing Company started just south of here and takes its name from the Creek.

DL&W leading 282, passing 361-27 in the mountains of Northwest Georgia.

The Training First Responders train is definitely striking compared to your average NS freight.

A nice birthday present, the Training First Responders unit and train roll past the Southeastern Railway Museum trackage in Duluth.

My 1,000th photo on RP.net. I'm happy it was a Heritage Unit in a nice Southern setting.

The recently cleaned Interstate Heritage Unit splits a pair of unique crossing lights south of downtown Hiram.
