The second and third cars are transformers. In Laurens, SC, there is the Carolina & Piedmont RR that runs to Greenville and back. The top customer on the line is the GE plant in G'ville. The turbines are brought to Laurens and set in Irby Yard for distribution on the CSX line that goes through Laurens.

thats a lot of horsepower on this train... this resembles like this train may be passing through sand patch or altapass bc of the amount of horsepower on this train. i would suggest thats pretty unusual through florida, unless if this train my be extremely heavy and have to go through those dips of the track.

Neat cars

love those horns on those new locos!

I dont think that train had enough power. :-)

ok, :p
The last two locos are x-EMD leasing SD70Ms assigned to the Bone valley trains,probably going to Waycross fro servicing. The phosphate cars are likely going to be scrapped. I saw one in a manifest go through Folkston on Monday with "scrap" spray painted on the side. It had been stored in the Mulberry yard with a pulled drawbar

The exLLPX/EMDX SD70M's do make it through Folkston regularly, sometimes DIT or as power. Just hope the three in EMD paint stay that way for a while, especially since all the color from the leasers are slowly disappearing!
