125 Car Storage Train On The Caney Fork & Western

[@rockguitarist931]

It's a shame there's not a lot of business on the north end of the line. The Tri-County Rail Authority resisted IHR's desire to rebuild and repaint the GP's for a long time because those engines do not belong to the CFW, they belong to the TCRA, but eventually they were overdue for an overhaul and IHR used that as an excuse to chop the noses off and put that camouflage leaf green livery on there. Sometimes I almost wish the G&W had bought them, but the GP's would've probably been traded in for something newer.

Are there any business in Sparta TN or close to it?

[@rockguitarist931]

​@@ericshook9270 As far as I know, there's just a co-op in Sparta that gets a car every once in a while. The railroad is definitely not running like it was under Ed Cox, who had 30 customers at one point. But I've heard talk of more businesses wanting to ship by rail in coffee county and Bridgestone has been ramping up to increase production, which is partially why they brought in #3002.

What time does this railroad go On-Duty? Also their typical origination & destination?

@@GTRailFanProductionsI’m not all too familiar with CFWR, but most of the time they go OD around 7-8 CST sometimes in Tullahoma (their interchange) sometimes in McMinnville (their shops/office)
