Great Walton's Social Circle Branch |
Description: |
Looking much like something a small child would put together on a amuture model railroad, this former Conrail GP35 has long since lost it's roll as a leading star in Operation Lifesaver films. The unit rest on old SW type frames in Great Walton RR's dead line at Social Circle Ga. many have said that this unit no longer carries a prime mover, but those statements are wrong. After looking over the unit to see what remained of it, it daos still carry it's 567 series prime mover and much of it's original guts... Kept for wieght. No one seems to know what this units future is. |
