NS 117 at Wildwood, GA

Haulage rights train NS 117 is giving it all it's got as two generations of GE locomotives haul the 7,000+ foot freight up Raccoon Mountain on the CSX Chattanooga Sub; far from home, BC Rail "Draper Taper" No. 4610 leads the charge, still wearing its original paint as Canadian National was only gradually repainting the fleet at the time, only a handful of these BC Rail units managed to avoid the shop. No. 4610 and its counterpart were retired in mid-2020, with this run marking the final leg of their journey one last ride to the cutting torch.
