A sunny warm day in Georgia!!

Received the following via email from Kermit Geary, Jr. Text, photos, and captions are his.

Been railfanning during the run down to Mosaic Phosphates...the test doesn't start till Monday. Visited some shortlines and the CSX/ NS operations en-route. Stopped by the St Mary's West in Waresboro, GA...shot 2 switchers towards the sun & behind fences, but was able to snag about 20 Progress Rail hulks in storage there....they must have 200 or more stored there. Was surprised to see the KCS / ex TFM SDP-40 there. Waycross was filled with stored CSXT units...3-4 tracks full. Many B30/36-7's there, as well as two future slugs from GP-30's...one ex READING! Ended the day at the Folkson Funnel....had a train about every 20 minutes or so....busy, busy, busy!!!

At Baldwin, FL tonight, Should make it to Barstow/ Mulberry area tomorrow (Sat)
