Social Circle, Ga. - 5/7/2017

CSX Q125 passing the old Georgia Railroad coaling tower, with some extra power tied down around the depot.

The 1928 RR Atlas labels this line "GA.". The line goes between Atlanta and Augusta. For once, a railroad used a standardized design because this looks like the one in Camak, GA.

More vanishing landscape. Once these dotted the countryside.

Coaling tower at Social Circle, Georgia Station of the Georgia Railroad (note: not Central of Georgia) now the CSX.

Michael Stamey: That locomotive on the left looks like it's sitting on the ground.

9 photos of the yard with the tower in each of them. The tower was removed in the Summer of 2022.
