"Goin for a reload"
Title:  "Goin for a reload"
Description:  After trying (and failing) to intercept 59 again in Flora, we catch a northbound empty tank train with a DC gevo leading a pair of SD70M-2s. With NS having gotten rid of their M-2s, this is the first time Ive seen one, let alone two.

"Mystery Tanks"
Title:  "Mystery Tanks"
Description:  After the northbound empty ethanol was out of the way, the CN sent what appeared to be a loaded ethanol train through Flora. Upon further inspection however, these tank cars were marked for chemical and acid use rather than ethanol. This is one of few runs that carries chemicals between Memphis and points in Louisiana.

"EMDs with empties"
Title:  "EMDs with empties"
Description:  Next up through Flora was this empty grain train (with small manifest block) with a pair of CN SD75Is in the lead. With GE being the norm for what I catch in Georgia, it was nice to get some EMD action for a change.

"18 hours of heritage, PT.1"
Title:  "18 hours of heritage, PT.1"
Description:  After finishing the day in Flora, I go to explore a siding close to my hotel in Yazoo City, what I came up on was a big surprise in the form of GTW 5848. GTW 5848 was one of the few units that was built for the PLE and was acquired by the GTW in 1985, originally sporting a black and white style paint.

Description:  More of GTW 5848 and IC 9620. With their numbers slowly dwindling, its rather nice to catch a GTW still on the rails, even if its offline
