This is a pretty good snapshot of much of the countryside of southwest Georgia - gently rolling terrain covered with pine trees and dotted with modest frame houses, and of branchline operations of Norfolk Southern just before spin-offs started - a second-generation geep with a couple dozen cars making good time over good track. As a sidenote, 244 was delivered in December 1963 (I was not quite halfway through the sixth grade in Milledgeville, GA) as 214, but was renumbered during the merger to avoid conflicts with N&W geeps.
Selected photos of locomotives, passenger cars, and rolling stock in the Southern's livery as well as other assets once belonging to or used by the Southern.
