Colonels Island Terminal

First generation EMD power is a rare sight on most Genesee and Wyoming shortlines, but the Golden Isles Terminal Railway in Brunswick, GA doesn’t disappoint. GC 1715 departs Colonels Island Terminal with an SW14 in tow pulling a long line of autoracks across Fancy Bluff Creek.

 

Built for the Norfolk & Western Railway in 1957 as a GP9, Georgia Central 1715 continues to earn her keep nearly 62 years later assigned to one of Georgia Ports Authority’s busiest Roll on/ Roll off terminals in the state.
