Marble Hill Branch
Georgia Northeastern Railroad GP20 #7562 brings three loaded marble hoppers up the switchback on the former Georgia Marble Railroad branch. Once they clear the switch theyll shove up the 4.5% grade into Tate. It was always a sure bet to get the first generation EMD's on the branch since the GP38's were deemed too heavy. After the first gen EMD's were purged from the roster by Patriot Rail in 2017 they tried upgrading the branch to support the GP38's but didnt really make it much better. Derailments are pretty common here albeit nothing major fortunately.
