Evenings at the Lake

The sun begins to set on a stormy Monday in North Georgia as Norfolk Southern local train P45 flies over Lake Tugaloo, and into the state of South Carolina. The northeast Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains set a grand scene behind P45 as they gently begin to rise towards the north. P45 is screaming up the Piedmont mainline towards Seneca, SC, where they will diverge for a night run down to the Pickens Railroad in Anderson. Consecutively numbered NS GP60s 7139 and 7138 are in control of the local this evening. Once designated the premiere power for the New York to Atlanta pig trains through here, these engines now ply the rails in lowly local service. Local or not this is a fantastic setting for such a train, and was one of my favorite 2022 moments. It was made even better by sharing it with friends.

 

Thanks for looking and enjoy!
