WGCR 3023
Title:  WGCR 3023
Description:  In 1990, a GP40 was big power for a tiny shortline in rural Alabama. Here we see 3023 after a fresh coat of paint. Unfortunately the life of this locomotive was considerably short on the G&O. After a brief stint on the Wiregrass Central and a some mechanical and electric issues, she went to Florida to receive some rework. She made one final apperance for the startup of the Altantic & Gulf shortline in Georgia before being sold off. From what I understand this locomotive lives on and serves another shortline in Ohio.

WGCR 9707
Title:  WGCR 9707
Description:  Doug Boyd had "Enterprise" written on the slide as the location for this, but it is obviously Kelly, AL instead. This locomotive came from the Three Notch RR out of Andalusia, Alabama. It is still on the Wiregrass Central, but it will probably leave after the next GP40-2LW's arrive.
