I thought it was time i made my self known. I`m here because i`ve developed an interest in the G&F and two other shorlines the GN and the GAS&C.I hope to model these in Proto 48/O scale,along with som

According to everything that I have, the G&F's PS-1 boxcars were built/delivered in September 1959. However, I just stumbled across some O scale decals that were printed for these cars in 1957 but sho

Does anyone know when G&F cabooses X-65, X-66, or X-67 were covered with steel sheathing? I'd assumed that it was early on, but a picture from August 1957 shows a red X-67 sitting at Augusta with wood

Steve, I have found an undated map of the intersection of the SR & the CGA in Griffin, GA. I can snail-mail you a copy. It is 8.5x11. There was a Union Depot on the CGAwith an interchange with SR. Thi

Gasometers completely disappeared from the landscape in America by the early 80's. They are a largely undocumented and unphotographed piece of history. I come across pictures of them via old railroad

Sanborn maps for Augusta (and several other GA cities and towns) can be found at: http://dlg.galileo.usg.edu/sanborn/ I have used them to locate some of the photos in Langley's "Georgia and Florida RR

Chris, You have received some good advice from Bob Hanson and Warren Stephens. I will add my 2 pennies. If you are in Augusta or near there you might check at the Richmond County library to see if the

Chris - Back in the late 1980's, I made courtesy calls on the NS sales office in Augusta. There was a salesman there, whose name escapes me now, who worked for the G&F prior to its demise. He said tha

The National Archives in College Park, MD. Will have valuation maps of the whole G&F. It is possible that there are Sanborn fire insurance maps that would cover the yard. As a TA&G and CofG fan that h

I'm trying to find a decent map of the G&F's Augusta yard. Do any of you have or know where I can find such a thing? And is there any chance that any of you have track profiles for the G&F? THANKS!

In the past 24 hours I've managed to locate both of the Pullman cars that the G&F purchased in 1955. The Mountain Road did in fact go to the TVRM and was sold at an auction in 1988 to a private indivi

A few questions; 1. In the 1943 Official Register of Passenger Train Equipment, it lists the G&F as having two 72' 62-Passenger coaches. This seems a little strange as there are also 60' coaches liste

1. Do you have the car numbers? I have a photocopy of a G&F Passenger car diagram book dated 1910 and updated by several years. It shows only a few later acquisitions (post-1910) as having six-wheel t

Did it say what year that TVRM got the coach? I think that in the early years, they acquired stuff and no one thought to write it down. I don't think they were any better at recording when they divest

Ben - A number of the CD's you mention were produced by the late W. B. (Bill) Folsom from his extensive slide collection. Bill passed on in 2009. The CD's turn up once in a while at railroad shows and

Having gotten a bit of a taste for the Georgia /WPR through Bob Hanson's Georgia book, I am wondering if anyone can recommend further sources of pictures of operations, either in book form or dealers

CofG - Macon-Atlanta and Griffin (Experiment)-Chattanooga. Southern - McDonough-Columbus. But, I can't think of a 3rd RR, unless you're thinking of predecessors to the Southern and CofG. The USGS topo
