Fred Stuckmann General Would you look at all those old box cars, how cool. 1/26/2012 5:45:18 PM
Troy Nolen General Look at all those boxcars... boy railroading sure has changed. 1/26/2012 5:52:21 PM
John Danielson General yeah, and not one bit of graffiti... Great shot! 1/26/2012 7:05:39 PM
Rob Richardson General It was fairly unusual in 1980 for Georgia geeps to wander off the Georgia or West Point trackage. A few years later it was common, but it's surprising to see 1028 in pool service. Note the spark arrestors. 1/26/2012 7:19:36 PM
Robert Farkas General Super shot. The only non-fallen flag logo seems to be UP on a boxcar. 1/26/2012 7:28:01 PM

David Barrentine General Too bad box cars don't look like this anymore. I always like shots with the first generation geeps in them. Nice catch Bernie! 1/27/2012 7:52:14 PM
