Crushed limestone train

Chuck and Bob Moffett were out to see Gum Lick trestle (a bit of a disappointment as it isn’t visible from any close roadway) and caught a southbound unit train of 3 bay hoppers (GLIX reporting marks, Georgia Power Co) loaded with crushed limestone.  They saw the train at Crofton and then hustled south to catch it again at the bridge just north of North Kelly.  Information from Keith Kittinger and Steve Miller indicate that the train originates on either the P&L or the Fredonia branch off the P&L and heads south from the CSX connection at Madisonville.  “I thought I heard a muffled train ID on the scanner and I think it Was K146.” – Chuck Hinrichs
