Title:  Details of former Virginia Rail Express locomotive
Description:  A detailed shot of the long hood end of a former VRE locomotive seen on GWI's Chattahoochee Bay in Columbia AL reveal red marker lights and a circular vent on the end and vents for HEP equipment alongside the hood. This is the former V01 as evidenced by it showing through renumbering.

Head on shot of former VRE locomotives
Title:  Head on shot of former VRE locomotives
Description:  Looking head on at a former Virginia Rail Express locomotive, now owned by GWI and used on their various lines in the Dothan AL area, seen leading an empty Scherer coal train at Columbia AL, an odd outpost for such a move. Perhaps GWI will the storing the train on their lines somewhere.

Odd sight
Title:  Odd sight
Description:  Former Virginia Rail Express locomotives, now owned by GWI and working their various short lines in the Dothan AL area, are seen on the head end of a empty Scherer coal train. I am not sure how many cars are in the train but I would estimate over 100 as they go out of sight before I can see the last car. My only guess is GWI will be storing this train somewhere on the system perhaps on the old spur that goes to the Farley Nuclear plant near Columbia.
