Vacation 2006 Day Five
It was looking like another beautiful but hot day. I headed out looking for railway action in Georgia and Florida. First up were two Norfolk Southern switch jobs in Albany, Georgia. I just happened to find their yard while driving through.
- 0855 EDT Albany, GA - NS switcher - NS 5007-NS 1622-NS 7014
- 0859 EDT Albany, GA - NS switcher - NS 5330-NS 2863
Next I drove north to Cordele to see if the Heart of Georgia was working in town. As luck would have it I heard them blowing their horn as I got to the tracks.
- 1028 EDT Cordele, GA - HOG eastbound - HOG 1540-RMPX 6409
- 1035 EDT Cordele, GA - HOG power - LLPX 3109
- 1042 EDT Cordele, GA - HOG eastbound - HOG 1540-RMPX 6409
I started my journey south toward Florida. On my way I found CSX switching an industry in Valdosta, Georgia.
- 1246 EDT Valdosta, GA - CSX switcher - CSXT 5841-CSXT 6116
I continued on to Trenton, Florida to find abandoned tracks as expected. Then I followed the line to Newberry where I found a Florida Central CF7.
- 1520 EDT Newberry, FL - Florida Cental power - FCEN 47
My next destination was Wildwood, Florida where I was very pleased to find a GP30M and S2m.
- 1700 EDT Wildwood, FL - Conrad Yelvington power - CYDZ 239-CYXX 2108
The day was getting on so I turned north. I stopped at the Days Inn in St. Augustine, Florida for the night.
