    If you're a railfan in the Southeast, you've most certainly heard of the Hartwell Railroad, the most random amalgamation of old locomotives you'll ever find. Their roster ranges from Conrail to the DRGW, and this rare collection of units you won't find anywhere else has made the Hartwell a must-see for many railfans. I am one of those railfans, and thus I made a voyage with some of the gang to see what I could find. Unfortunately, I wouldn't see as much as I hoped on the Hartwell...but the Greenville made up for it with some very crisp catches. Regardless, I'm grateful, and I look forward to a more successful trip in the future.
    To the gang, ‪@ARP_GA‬, ‪@ThatModelGuyGA‬, and ‪@nstrainfanyt‬, it was a pleasure seeing you all as always. I look forward to the next time I get to see y'all.
    ‪@fmnut‬, thank you dearly for being gracious with your footage of the old Reading Lines operations; ‪@SilverCometMedia‬, appreciate you for giving me footage of the Hartwell Railroad; and credits to ‪@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC‬ for the footage of the Harlee Branch Power Plant demolition.
    And as for the rest of y'all, God bless. I'll see you soon, out on the High Iron.

    Passenger cars are former Long Island P72 commuter coaches acquired from the Central New York Chapter of the NRHS. Don't know anything about the caboose though.
    How they got there was when a Lavonia Businessman acquired the cars for a Mardi Gras (gambling) Express that never took off because the city stopped it before it was even able to get off the ground. They used to sit where they keep their locomotives occasionally after a day's work before being moved to where they are now on a storage track next to Twin Branch Road.

      I've only heard about the Mardi Gras train concept mostly through word of mouth from my dad. (Information about the businessman or his train on the internet is scarce to impossible to find anything about).

    Well done getting NS 1067, 8104 and everything else with so much history! It’s both fascinating and sad seeing old units & vehicles sitting and rusting away like that, but I’m glad some of those units are still being used right now.
    I remember getting NS 1067 trailing on 279 in November last year with a common BNSF GEVO, and I still remember the encounter fondly.

  • @Boeing737-8H4

    Hello! I live in Carnesville Georgia, a city right beside Lavonia, Hartwell operates all of their locomotives except 454. 454 has been sitting in Air Line as long as I have been alive. Also, 136 is still in use of HRT, it has been sitting for a while because of (my guess) the cost to operate it. 136 is still functional and breathing, and she will probably return to service sometime soon. A little fact about 136 is that she was involved in a collision with a railcar, her entire back half was ripped apart and replaced with locomotive parts from the Georgia Northeastern Railroad.

      No those would be the former Erie Lackawanna EMU's that had their motor and pantographs removed and wear the rusted blue paint. The faded purple and yellow coaches are ex LIRR P72's acquired for a Business man's failed Mardi Gras Express Gambling Train scheme.
