Atlanta. La capital del Sur. Un skyline modestito, nada que ver con Nueva York o Chicago, pero tiene su cosa.

Sending my sympathy out to my Atlanta, Georgia friends from the huge damage the fire on an I-85 bridge did, just grateful that there were no injuries of deaths.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️ ❤️

Dave and I aren’t city drivers or lovers of allot of traffic. Driving through Atlanta today was nerve racking. When we go home it will not be this way!

Standing 19 feet tall and clutching a giant hot dog, this Paul "Bunyon" statue, is one of Route 66’s mythic Muffler Man Statues.

Paul Bunyan is a giant lumberjack in American and Canadian folklore. His exploits revolve around the tall tales of his superhuman labors. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bunyan)

During the heydays of Rt 66, travellers passed hundreds of signs, murals and other forms of roadside advertising. Among the more famous stood the fiberglass giants created during the 1960s by International Fiberglass of Venice, California.

In 1965 one of these giants was placed in front of a restaurant on Rt 66 in Cicero, Illinois, and the original axe was swapped for a hot dog. After this place closed, thanks to the Illinois Route 66 Association, this giant has been moved in 2003 to Atlanta, as a route 66 icon.

Overnight and this morning nice light flakes have covered everything. Very beautiful. Here is the muscadine vine. Maybe more snow throughout the day today.

These stunning pink lilies showcase their vibrant petals drenched in morning dew, standing gracefully among lush greenery. Their elegant stamens and budding companions hint at the season’s abundant life, while the soft tones of the garden path in the background add a natural, tranquil charm. A celebration of nature’s artistry captured in full bloom.

The old ACL Bellwood Yard was still used by CSX for some local freight, not sure what has come of it these days. April 2005.

With the symbol changes starting to creep into use in preparation for the CP takeover, the stack trains seemed to be some of the last ones to swap over. Back in January this was still I-DAAT, flying through the farm fields of northern Louisiana right at track speed of 59 mph.

Mural

ATNs Gadsden-Ragland Job with BN painted 7204 passes the long inactive SG 678.2 DD in Ohatchee, originally installed by the Seaboard when this was part of their Atlanta to Birmingham mainline. Part of the reason this route was sold off/abandoned piecemeal by CSX was to keep it from falling into BN hands. It’s interesting to imagine how things would’ve turned out if BN got this route in the late 80s.

This side of the former Concordia Hall has an alligator mural painted by Belgian artist ROA, whose urban murals usually feature animals local to the region, rendered in black and white.

This building (originally Concordia Hall, built by a Jewish cultural association) is part of a historic district in Atlanta called Hotel Row. It was probably at one time a hotel, but I don't know if the "Star Hotel" sign is an actual sign from the building's earlier days or an artistic flourish. I can't find any reference to a "Star Hotel" at this location.

The lyre above the door on the right was the symbol of the Concordia Association.
