Ever Have The Feeling You Are Being Watched?
Title:  Ever Have The Feeling You Are Being Watched?
Description:  As I'm getting ready to get my phcs of the 2880 heading to Artesia, KCS personel drove by and strained their necks then turned around to do it again. Suprisingly I wasn't run off. Artesia was once railfan griendly but after KCS came to town that pretty much came to an end.

THE 7o2!
Title:  THE 7o2!
Description:  The 702 is back at Columbus after serving a stint at West Point for the Prestrage Farm mill as their switcher when their own went down. Now back at Columbus, this old vet faces an uncertain future due to the G&W take over. It's been rumored she will be put up for sale. She came to the C&G in March 1983 after leaving the Southern Railway (SOU {CNTOP} 6246). She's been a bit of a staple for the C&G and railfans alike in her 26 years on the CAGY. Hopefully she gets to stay. But for now as Jim Morrison would say "The Future's uncertain and the end is always near." I hope the line "Let it roll baby roll" holds true for her.

Night Moves
Title:  Night Moves
Description:  Just before midnight, the CAGY Columbus Switcher is building a train in Columbus, MS under HWY 82. Two venerable EMD's hold the job down tonight. In years past this was a day time job and it was held down for almost 30 years by an ex SOU GP9, the C@GY 7o2. But times have changed. Still yet though, tried and proven EMD's still toil along this job. Normally for me, the last hour spent before bedtime consist tieing up loose ends before knocking off and heading to bed. Tonight was a different story. I got the luxury of hearing the sounds of EMD 645's before heading back to the motel before bedtime. Best frickin' lullaby ever.......
