Shoving cars uphill...and downhill on the old Hartwell
Title:  Shoving cars uphill...and downhill on the old Hartwell
Description:  On Tuesday the railroad made a rare trip down the old Hartwell to serve their last remaining customer on the line, and all two miles of storage cars had to be pulled. Today they are putting the cars back into place on the old hill and dale line.

Iowa, 1980?
Title:  Iowa, 1980?
Description:  Nope, Georgia, 2010! CNW 4556 and ex-CR GP38 1973 sway through a curve on the original Hartwell Railroad. The line nowdays is used primarily for storage cars, but this week all two plus miles of cars had to be pulled out so the railroad could serve the last remaining customer. Today they are shoving the cars back into place. A special thanks goes out to Eric Salter for creating the replacement right side numberboard which I was recently able to install to replace the original which was presumably stolen.
