Question for Atlanta Area Members
Posted by Dough on Sunday, February 20, 2005 1:50 PM
I was wondering if anybody knew where the tie gang is on the NS line that goes from Lula to Norcros? I caught the bunk cars in Lula and the tool cars in Gainesville around Christmas time. Many of the cars were built in the 1930's and are quite interesting. I also managed to snag some shots of the tie unloading around Oakwood. However, I haven't been able to photograph the actual tie gang machines.

If anyone has seen any of the crosstie car gondola cars or the ties on the right-of-way, or even the equipment itself I would really apprecitate it. They are supposed to be working their way to Norcross on the single track I believe. They may be finished already, but if not I would really appreaciate any help finding them again!
