Even I manage a classic shot once in every hundred or so exposures. WGCR start up power has tied down for the day at the old block agency on the west side of town. The old semaphores are still in place. |

The units are sitting about a mile east of the end of the line. |

WGCR 3023 |
| Description: |
In 1990, a GP40 was big power for a tiny shortline in rural Alabama. Here we see 3023 after a fresh coat of paint. Unfortunately the life of this locomotive was considerably short on the G&O. After a brief stint on the Wiregrass Central and a some mechanical and electric issues, she went to Florida to receive some rework. She made one final apperance for the startup of the Altantic & Gulf shortline in Georgia before being sold off. From what I understand this locomotive lives on and serves another shortline in Ohio. |
