Engineer Michael Pyle (aka The Pyle Driver) is at the controls of NS 708 as seen here passing the the old Central of Georgia depot in Carrollton, GA. While this may be another coal drag to the average viewer, for us foamers in North Georgia, this was possibly the last chance to catch one of these runs up Dugdown Mountain.
The former Central of Georgia line between Griffin, GA & Chattanooga, TN via a short stint on the Southern between Brice Station & Rome, was always a glorified branch line, even back in the CofG days. After being absorbed by the Southern & eventually NS, the line only saw its status diminish even more, especially with the line now only going as far "east" per the old CofG timetables as Senoia since the 90s after having the portion between there & Griffin disconnected. With that, the only road trains that would venture on here were the coal drags that would serve Plant Wansley & Plant Yates. After the two remaining units at Yates were converted to Natural Gas in 2015 & Units 1 & 2 at Wansley being idled a couple of years ago, Many thought that would be it & that the line would only see the local traffic for its fairly small customer base from here on out. Out of nowhere last summer though, some limestone trains ran to Wansley in preparation for the units to be brought back online. After a few coal drags had already ran, I finally got my first chance to get one of these runs on December 23rd, 2021. With clear skies & lots of friends trackside to also catch this run, it was without a doubt a great day to get my first run up the dreaded Dugdown grade.
While this was a joyous moment for the railfan me, the realist was also having to deal with the reality of the situation as well. Georgia Power has shared its ambitious goals to shut down all but 4 of its coal fired units by 2028 (all 4 are at Plant Bowen). The first ones on the chopping block you may ask are units 1 & 2 at Wansley. With their hopes of shutting down units 1 & 2 by the end of this year (2022) being known, I do hope that I get at least one more chance to catch this run before it happens, but at least I'll be able to say I did get one. Now we just gotta hope the customer base will help keep the C-Line alive & thriving, especially on the "west" end between Bremen & Cedartown. 12-23-21
Even with today's seemingly always-connected railfan world, sometimes you just get plain lucky. I had rode up to Carrollton with plans to follow local G66 south to Senoia. However when he was heading back north right at sunrise those plans were obviously thwarted; but there was radio chatter indicating a southbound Wansley coal train. Had no clue the Savannah & Atlanta unit was in the neighborhood, but it sure was a nice surprise as it caught a hole in the cirrus clouds early on a Sunday morning at Clem.
Also, hopefully on an upcoming visit to the shop the weathered lettering will get touched up.

Ukotvení Českého národa je naší temnou historií. Proběhlo na základě Chicagského dekretu o vzniku Československé republiky, kdy se levoboček France Josefa, sedmistupňový svobodný zednář vídeňské lóže "Greens login", tedy Redlich - Masařík (Masaryk) domluvil s iluminátem v USA prezidentem Woodrow Wilsonem na založení první žido-zednářské republiky na světě. Československo tedy začalo psát svou novou historii v Chicagu. Domluvili se o zednářské vlajce s klínem, která tvoří jednu část Davidovi hvězdy, číslo úhlu modrého klínu znamená, v jak silném područení mají Češi otročit a znamená to, že židozednářství je zakotveno v naší vlajce, státním symbolu. Založení ČSR proběhlo díky legionářům, jinak přezdívaný spolek mafie, jenž ukradli carské zlatu v Rusku. Takzvaná Jantarová komnata, kterou hledali i němečtí nacisté za druhé světové války. Uloupené zlato převezli v legionářském vlaku přes celou Sibiř do Vladivostoku, kde byla kořist rozporcována. Část uloupeného zlata byla převezena přes Tichý oceán do San Franciska a Americe zůstalo zlato jako platba za vznik samostatné ČSR. Zbytek ukradeného zlata legionáři převezli do New Yorku, odkud bylo odvezeno 4 roky po první světové válce do Československa, kde založili Živnobanku a novou ekonomiku republiky ČSR. Toto zlato je prokleté zavražděním carské rodiny Mikulášovi a nese pachuť krve a smrti. Je potřísněno krví Slavjanů a díky tomu je náš národ proklet v okultní rovině do otroctví, skrze loutkové vlády sloužící jiným pánům, než národu Českému. Je třeba ho Rusku vrátit a konečně se vymanit z okov otroctví. Z toho zlata stejně u nás mnoho nezbylo. Neb svobodný zednář Eduard Beneš půlku našeho pokladu odvezl do domu Sion, City of London, tedy bankéřům Rotschild. Dnes je mi již jasné, proč se kdysi hlavní nádraží v Praze jmenovalo Wilsonovo a bylo nedaleko Masarykovu. Svobodní zednáři jsou v naší vládě dodnes. Věřím, že se již konečně Český národ zbaví tohoto prokletí a začne si vládnout sám. Doplnění ke vzniku ČSR:

Legio-vlak má namířeno z Českého Krumlova do Vimperku v rámci putování po jižních Čechách. Do Českého Krumlova přijel z Prachatic dne 10.11.2017 jako vlak Pn 94833, kdy této přepravy se zhostila lokomotiva 708.703-4 a do Prachatic byl přivezen z Tábora dne 06.11.2017 lokomotivou 210.036-0 pod měděnou pavučinou z Tábora do Číčenic jako vlak Pn 94831 a dále s lokomotivou 743.005-1 v úseku Číčenice - Prachatice jako Pn 94832. Je velká škoda, že se neuskutečnilo plánované nasazení hybrida Kobeko 218.028-9 na provezení vlaku v celém úseku Tábor - Prachatice.
It was a few hours in Reading today (24/04/2021) to see what was going on and to test out a new lens for the camera. The many colours of Reading Buses were in full bloom in some lovely April sunshine.

Esta remesa sin embargo cambio el ya tipico look de los vehiculos articulados con una curvatura adicional en el frontal para darle aerodinamica y un mejor aspecto. Desde entonces todos los vehiculos carrozados por Castrosua de 18 metros han portado semejante añadido en sus frontales.
Info (EN): This vehicle belongs to the second 18m long MAN Castrosua City Versus batch purchased by Guaguas Municipales as well as the first batch to mount the renewed NG363F chassis (most commonly known as the A24). This lot however modified the typical bendy bus look by adding an extra curvature on the vehicles front for better aerodynamics and aesthetic. Since then, every single 18m long vehicle built by Castrosua for Guaguas has worn the same addition on their fronts.

After waiting for a track inspector to give up his warrant, engineer Michael Pyle gets NS 708 ready to have as much momentum has he can here at Young before they shortly begin there assault on the grade to Dugdown. While this may be another coal drag to the average viewer, for us foamers in North Georgia, this was possibly the last chance to catch one of these runs up Dugdown Mountain.
