Head on shot of former VRE locomotives |
| Description: |
Looking head on at a former Virginia Rail Express locomotive, now owned by GWI and used on their various lines in the Dothan AL area, seen leading an empty Scherer coal train at Columbia AL, an odd outpost for such a move. Perhaps GWI will the storing the train on their lines somewhere. |

Odd sight |
| Description: |
Former Virginia Rail Express locomotives, now owned by GWI and working their various short lines in the Dothan AL area, are seen on the head end of a empty Scherer coal train. I am not sure how many cars are in the train but I would estimate over 100 as they go out of sight before I can see the last car. My only guess is GWI will be storing this train somewhere on the system perhaps on the old spur that goes to the Farley Nuclear plant near Columbia. |

Former Virginia Railway Express |
| Description: |
A former VRE locomotive is seen in the Bayline yard in Dothan AL. At least one of the former VRE locomotives GWI acquired is getting a coat of corporate orange/black. You might want to get photos while you can before the VRE paint scheme is gone from this area. |
