These three units made up the bulk of the operating power on the line in the early 2000s. Wiregrass Central seemed to be a preferred location to shake down newly acquired power by G&O Railways over the years. |

With the grain train now past the switch, the three units left in the feed mill lead now couple to to the rear of the train for a hard pull to spot. |

The ex SP GP9E overheaded and blew several power assemblies a few minutes after this shot. A cloud of steam and silence ended this old soldiers career right before my eyes! |

The whole operating fleet is capured in this picture. |
| Description: |
The four units worked as a consist to move the grain from the CSX interchange at Pinchard, AL to Enterprise. With not siding to run around, the train set out three units in the feed mill lead and used the four unit to pull the train slowly clear of the switch so the three could couple to the rear and switch the train into the loading shed. |

Hows this for confusing |
| Description: |
O.K....lets see if I get this straight. We are looking at a unit that began life on the old Norfolk Southern Railroad. It became a Southern unit upon the buyout of the old NSRR. It later became a Norfolk Southern unit following the Southern/NW merger. Then it was sold to the Gulf and Ohio and sublettered for the Wiregrass Central. Recently it has seen action on another G&O property, the Chattahoochee and Gulf. Now the C&G has been bought out by a unit of the G&W and apparently this unit went with the sale. I say so because not the G&O wings that had been on the cab have been removed. |

Three units now pull the rear of the train easbound after bringing it west from CSX to the mill. The next move will cut the train in half for spotting in two long feed mill leads. |

That old CSX highrail signal maintainers truck is used to allow one of the trainmen to run ahead, throw switches and watch for signs of trouble. |

In 2004, the feed mill and primary customer on the Wiregrass Central is worked by usual power of the time. The ex SP GP sports a gray version paint used on a very few units before the black was made the official colors. |
| Description: |
The train actually split its power, leaving these in the lead and used a fourth GP38 to pull the cars past the loader so these three could couple up to the end and shove the cuts into the loading cover. A neat way to reverse power on a train without a siding was this novel move. |
