Greenville Shops
Title:  Greenville Shops
Description:  SD38AC 866, the only SD38-body in a road set on the Bessemer while I was out there, idles with a pair of SD40-3's (in SD45T-2 carbodies) at the big shop complex in Greenville. 866 is rotated in and out of service with the 867 on road trains.

What I was Hoping For
Title:  What I was Hoping For
Description:  After a long wait, we finally found the northbound train of B&LE empties, and caught them pulling north through Carter interlocking as fresh snow is kicked up by the power. We could hear the sound of EMD 645 prime movers for 10 mintues before this train arrived - magic!

BLE 901
Title:  BLE 901
Description:  The train had work to do enroute north, and was delayed. Therefore, it needed a new crew at Greenville, and the DS decided to change crews at the shops - so we caught a rare move of a full train on the older 'low' main through downtown Greenville. Here the head end passes an old Coca-Cola advertisement on the "Greenville Shoe Hospital" while it begins to cross Main Street.

And, on the far side of town
Title:  And, on the far side of town
Description:  The rear end of the train is still moving through downtown Greenville, but thanks to some great driving by Alex, we were able to get the head end at College Ave on the north side of town.
