Cool. Are they using newer or older engines, such as the ALCos?

I'm not sure what you mean by "new railroads in town". The Bay Line in Florida is actually the Atlanta & St. Andrews Bay. My earliest knowledge of it goes back to the early 1950's when it still operated a passenger train with a through Pullman from Panama City to Atlanta via a connection with the CofG IIRC. The Bay Line dated back to probably the 1890's though it may not always been known by that name.
