Locomotive Photos: GNRR #77

Switcher #77 is a GNRR acquisition from the Georgia Marble Company. This stalwart NW1 locomotive was used to haul marble (calcium carbonate) up the switch back and to the Tate yard for shipment down south.

She has been left to rot on the siding in Tate. Her bell, horns and builder's plates stripped, doors left open. Rusting.

Tate Engine Servicing Facility

There are a lot of outside shots of the locomotive servicing facility in my files, mostly of the outside. Thought I'd share a few shots of the inside with you. They are a bit grainy due to the darkness inside, but give you a feel for the inner workings.

Dave submitted this excellent photo of the GNRR locmotives in the rain at Elizabeth. Love it! I was in the rain all day today.
