South Georgia Gold Mine - Sandersville Railroad: The Kaolin Road

[@kens.3729]

Now those were some Cool little White Units. Interesting to also see a little White Slug on this Railroad also. 👍

[@CSXAC4400CWno5112]

Indeed, a cool operation with some unique power no doubt!

[@sandersvillerailroad7451]

Its actually a light gray. Altoona Shops has the paint code in their system as "Sandersville Grey". The red stripe that tapers at 45 deg on hood ends is a homage to an old Georgia RR design.

@@sandersvillerailroad7451 Thanks for that tidbit, interesting to note they have their own seemingly unique color named after them.

These guys are no joke! I haven’t seen switching done that fast… ever! Awesome video

[@CSXAC4400CWno5112]

They're hard to keep up with at times, no doubt! Thanks!

[@poohmaster54]

The hidden gem known as the Sandersville Railroad, awesome work as always! I hope it's never swallowed up by G&W!

[@CSXAC4400CWno5112]

It’s certainly a unique little RR. Would hate to see an orange takeover.

[@25mfd]

VERY NICE VID!!!!!... those little SW1500s are kicking ass with their switching... lotta work getting done

[@CSXAC4400CWno5112]

Thank you! Oh yeah, a super busy and unique railroad to see in action. Hoping to get down there again soon.

💯Very interesting article about Sandersville RR. 👍There's also a kaolin railway near me, which is the DB Cargo branch line with the highest turnover in Germany. I find your labelling very informative. Thank you from the bottom of my ❤.Andreas 👨‍✈🌟🌟🌟

[@CSXAC4400CWno5112]

It’s a very cool railroad for sure! Do you have any videos of your local kaolin railway? I’d love to see them! Thanks for the kind words!

[@KCTopDawg]

Nice video! Love the action!

[@kens.3729]

Hello Darryl! You’re the Grand Master of Railfan Action. There is Absolutely NO question about that Fact. 😬👍

[@CSXAC4400CWno5112]

Thank you! Hoping to see more of this RR in the near future.

All of these Sanderville Railroad jobs interchange with Norfolk Southern in Tennille.

[@AMPProductionsVideo]

Cool video featuring the end cab switchers, the NS local was a nice surprise 👍

[@CSXAC4400CWno5112]

Glad you liked it! There were several other NS trains that passed by while I was preoccupied with the Sandersville. Can’t catch them all unfortunately!

[@jamesmdean1987]

Looks like a well run little operation; look at those tracks...they're so well maintained that the cars hardly have any rock nor sway to them.

[@CSXAC4400CWno5112]

Most certainly some of if not the best shortline trackage I’ve ever seen. They certainly generate the revenue to support the well-maintained infrastructure!

[@jamesmdean1987]

@@CSXAC4400CWno5112 are you still on the Abbeville Sub? Hardly hear any trains anymore, not compared to just a few years ago. I remember in the early 90s all the piggyback trains that would absolutely fly down through here.

[@CSXAC4400CWno5112]

@@jamesmdean1987 Yes I am. It’s certainly hit or miss nowadays, especially since there are only four scheduled daily through freights. Not long ago, it was 14-16 per day with numerous grain, coal, and ethanol trains. Sad state of affairs on the old SAL. My next video will feature a good bit of action from the line, though!

[@jamesmdean1987]

@@CSXAC4400CWno5112 looking forward to it! When we go to Winder and see a train stopped at Cash Rd or Giles Rd in the siding, we will normally stop and wait a bit to see if there is another coming. My daughter followed in my footsteps in trains. We got lucky a few weeks ago, an autorack was stopped at Giles, and within 10 minutes of each other, 2 trains came by, then the autorack took off. Daughter got a horn salute, made her happy, made me smile.

Day in and day out, a happening place for sure with the road trains stopping there to work.
