FIMX - Before the EMDs
My recent limestone train photography excursion had me reminiscing about the Franklin Industrial Minerals in Tennessee. While the line still remains interesting, todays EMD power is significantly less cool than the GEs that made up the entire roster now over a decade ago (Oh....Im getting old...) I believe the three B23-7s are still on the property but used far less. The locomotives at that time were also still wore their original red and grey colors, imo a bit nicer than the current blue logos. Here the 4023 and 3138 are preparing their outbound train at the plant in Crab Orchard.
