Farewell, 888
A look at some of the cars that make up C888, coal loads from Resource on the CV for Georgia Pacific’s Containerboard mill in Cedar Springs, GA. When I took this, it was just another shot that I may do something with, but now I’m glad I took it, because on May 14th, 2025, employees of the mill were notified that the mill will be permanently closing, with most jobs being eliminated by August 1st. While this train by this point only ran about once of month, it was still another coal drag that at least had some dependability of running on the former L&N main to Atlanta. 4-6-24
