NS 3986 (B23-7) in the weeds on the Pine Belt Southern
Title:  NS 3986 (B23-7) in the weeds on the Pine Belt Southern
Description:  NS 3986 (B23-7) isn't all that remarkable except for the fact that a painter has spent this entire day repainting the handrails with yellow enamel. This is some of the best looking trackage between Opelika and LaFayette, AL and this locomotive has run thru brush and small trees on its final run to Opelika. The junction switch with CSX has been removed due to inactivity and before this leased diesel can be returned to the Norfolk Southern in Opelika, the junction switch must be replaced. While waiting the CSX Roadway Department to finish that project, cosmetic repairs are being done to the NS 3986 to avoid damage payments. In just a few short weeks, all the former Central of Georgia "T" line will be ripped up by a railroad salvage company.
