The Hartwell Railroad is a short-haul line in Northern Georgia. It is operated by the Great Walton Railroad Company and is also part of the Athens Line LLC. Great Walton operates 37 miles of track and transports coal, paper, plastic and oil. It links to Norfolk Southern in Jackson County, GA. The Athens Line exists to deliver coal to the electrical generation plant on the University of Georgia campus.
This locomotive is a General Motors Model GP30. It was placed in service in 1963 by the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad and operated in Colorado and Utah. It was sold to Progress Rail, a rebuilder of locomotives in 1995. The Hartwell Railroad acquired it one year later. Shot with a Nikon N80 (35mm), a Nikon 28-70 f3.5D and Fuji Supera 400 film.
