After getting held up north for a bit, CSX B241-20 made its way into south Georgia with CN 3115, the BC Rail heritage unit, leading the loaded potash train south. This one sure drew out the crowd today, and for good reason. CN 3115 is painted in the same form that BC Rail used to paint their MLW M420 units after going to the red, white and blue paint scheme. This is also the first of the CN heritage units that has made it this far south. These loaded potash trains typically come from CN but will occasionally come off the CP as well. In this case, the train arrived in Chicago as CN B746

With the sun finally breaking through for last light after a day of storms, empty potash train CSX B240-11 rolls through the small community of Rebecca, GA with a trio of CN motors hustling the long string of empties back to Chicago. Also of interest was the rotary Bone Valley phosphate hopper on the head end of the cars.

Barely beating out the last inklings of daylight, CSX loaded phosphate B211-23 roars through the small town of Rebecca, GA with a pair of CP AC4400CWs on the head end. Quite a nice blend of colors from the sunset and the CP red.
