less well known narrow gauge railroads.

June 03, 2000 06:35AM
I have some info on two small narrow gauge railroads that operated here in Georgia.
Visit my web site if you are interested in the Roswell Railroad (here in what's now considered Metro Atlanta) or the Gainesville Midland and its predicessor the Gainesville, Jefferson and Southern.
The Roswell was a 10 mile long narrow gauge pike (about 1/2 mile from my home) and it's subsidiary, the Bull Sluice Railroad, still has rails in place today. When the Morgan Falls dam is not releaseing power, the water level is low enough to see two rails jutting out from the dam at 3' apart.
The GJ&S/GM was a 54 mile narrow gauge that at one time owned a second hand class 56 ex-D&RGW loco, D&RG 71 "Pacific Slope".
By the way, does anyone know what this MOW car is sitting at Hermosa on the D&SNG? I saw it while the Eureka was taking water there. It looks like a skeleton log car without couplers and with air brakes.
A crewman said he thought it was a water car but the plastic tank above the left truck doesn't need a full car. Is maybe the D&SNG going to get into container double stack spine car movements to Silverton on the mixed trains? If there's coal up the Animas, maybe they'll get into unit train operations also ;-o
